Best known for its representational works, Buffet's paintings are often graphic, figurative and central in their compositions. Adamantly opposed to anything "abstract", he fervently argued for the social importance of a more representative rendering of art,
at a time when abstraction was increasingly dominating the conversation among critics. Buffet produced many variations on the theme of flowers in a vase, with the aim of testing the same subject with a different result. Buffet's evident delight in the beauty of the natural world, and perhaps a latent desire to escape the monotony of everyday urban life. www.operagallery.com
