Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Told for the first time, the extraordinary story of Bernard Buffet the most famous artist in the world you have never heard of.It is said that asphyxiation brings on a state of hallucinatory intoxication.in which case the 71 year old artist who lay in his sprawling Provencal villa died happy. In the early afternoon of Monday 4 October 1999, wracked with Parkinson's, and unable to paint because of a fall in which he had broken his wrist, Bernard Buffet calmly placed a plastic bag over his head, taped it tight around his neck and patiently waited the few minutes it took for death to arrive.Bernard Buffet-The Invention of the Modern Mega-artist tells the remarkable story of a French figurative painter who tasted unprecedented critical and commercial success at an age when his contemporaries were still at art school. Then, with almost equal suddenness the fruits of fame turned sour and he found himself an outcast. Scarred with the contagion of immense commercial success no leper was more untouchable. He was the first artist of the television age and the jet age and his role in creating the idea of a post-war France is not to be underestimated. As the first of the so-called Fabulous Five (Francoise Sagan, Roger Vadim, Brigitte Bardot and Yves Saint Laurent) he was a leader of the cultural revolution that seemed to forge a new France from the shattered remains of a discredited and demoralized country.Rich in incident Buffet's remarkable story of bisexual love affairs, betrayal, vendettas lasting half a century, shattered reputations, alcoholism, and drug abuse, is played out against the backdrop of the beau monde of the 1950s and 1960s in locations as diverse as St Tropez, Japan, Paris, Dallas, St Petersburg and New York, before coming to its miserable conclusion alone in his studio. It is said that asphyxiation brings on a state of hallucinatory intoxication. in which case the 71 year old artist who lay in his sprawling Provencal villa died happy. This book tells the story of a French figurative painter who tasted unprecedented critical and commercial success at an age when his contemporaries were still at art school.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. London. Weidenfeld and Nicholson. 2010. First Edition/First Printing (1 included in full number line on copyright page). Hard Cover. Medium 8vo. 6.5" x 9.3". ([16.5cm x 23.5cm] approx. 266 pp. Dark red boards with gilt titles to the spine. Illustrated with glossy colour and monochrome reproductions in the text. Unclipped dust jacket (£18.99) with cover artwork of 'The Start of the Memorable Derby of 1844' from an engraving by Charles Hunt. The book and jacket are both as new with no wear. Flat signed by the author without dedication and scarce in that respect. The Derby of 1844 was expected to be a two-horse race between Ugly Buck and Ratan, owned respectively by the intriguing characters, John Gully, a social-climbing former prize-fighter, and his great rival, William Crockford, the club owner. The race itself was full of drama, not least when it became apparent that Ratan and Ugly Buck had both been doped. Nick Foulkes brilliantly takes Frith's narrative canvas "Derby Day" as the inspiration for a gripping story. There are strong characters, the tension of class rivalries, the drama of the race and the trial, as well as the opportunity to use the gambling of the time as a lens through which to view the wider social change of the period. Almost exclusively aristocratic in tone, racing was, in the days before football, the chief national sporting obsession. However, the popularity of gambling and the turf was at odds with the increasingly regulated tempo of life in the 1840s. Vociferous moralists began to inveigh against the vice. The government was on a mission to clean up, if not eradicate, gambling in Britain and Britain's premier race, the Derby, was put on public trial.
