ABOUT THE ART

This painting, 'Orange Bikini', is a hand-painted work created after Bernard Buffet, closely referencing his original Femme au bikini composition executed during the late 1950s, a period widely regarded as one of the most definitive phases of his career. Buffet’s original painting—commonly dated to circa 1958—features the same elongated female figure clad in a vivid orange bikini, standing within a stark, flattened landscape. That image has since become one of the artist’s most recognizable figurative motifs and was revisited through paintings, drawings, and prints during that era.

The composition seen here reflects Buffet’s unmistakable visual language: sharply angular anatomy, heavy black contour lines, and a deliberate reduction of form that heightens emotional tension. The figure’s exaggerated proportions and rigid stance evoke both elegance and alienation, while the restrained palette—dominated by ochre yellow, muted blues, and off-white flesh tones—anchors the composition in the existential mood that defined postwar European figuration.

Textural scoring, visible brushwork, and intentional abrasion across the surface echo the raw, graphic intensity of Buffet’s originals. The unrefined canvas edges and layered paint application further reinforce the aesthetic of austerity and psychological distance that characterized his work in the late 1950s, when themes of isolation, fragility, and modern disquiet were central to his practice.

ARTIST BIO

Bernard Buffet (1928–1999) was among the most prominent—and controversial—French painters of the postwar period. Rising to international fame in his early twenties, Buffet rejected abstraction in favor of a severe figurative style defined by elongated forms, somber palettes, and stark black outlines. His work stood in deliberate opposition to the optimism of Abstract Expressionism, instead embracing a visual language shaped by postwar anxiety and existential thought. Despite divided critical opinion, Buffet achieved extraordinary commercial success and produced an extensive body of work across painting, printmaking, and illustration.

Provenance & Attribution

It is important to note that this painting is not an original work by Bernard Buffet. Based on stylistic analysis, execution, and the absence of verifiable provenance or inclusion in the Bernard Buffet catalog raisonné, the work is understood to be a later hand-painted replica created after Buffet’s original Femme au bikini (circa 1958). Such works were commonly produced as decorative interpretations or study pieces, reflecting the lasting popularity and iconic status of Buffet’s imagery.

Collecting Perspective

As a hand-painted work executed after Bernard Buffet, this piece should be appreciated as a stylistic homage rather than a museum-grade original. It offers collectors an opportunity to engage with one of Buffet’s most recognizable compositions—capturing the visual power and emotional restraint of his late-1950s figurative period—while maintaining full transparency regarding authorship. Presented with proper context, Orange Bikini stands as a compelling decorative work and a respectful reflection of Bernard Buffet’s enduring influence on modern figurative art.

Powerful for the presenter
Format: Paperback
My boss's boss recently told me that our organization's presentations are boring data dumps that make her wish she was somewhere other than there listening but not really hearing or caring about this slide and dreading the next. She suggested that since I was going to be doing a lot of presentations in the future I should avoid that method and do better presentations. I immediately sought advice from our best presenter and learned that his method came from his gut feelings about what worked better. He has good instincts but to codify what he explained I decided to buy a book to learn why his approach works. The closest book with an effective explanation I could find is "beyond bullet points". It captured and expanded on the instinct my new mentor explained so that I could now understand how to use the slides to supplement the story and how to interweave the data so the whole presentation is more meaningful and memorable. I recommend this book to anyone looking for more of an answer on how to improve their presentations and eliminate the data dump in bullet points.

Great for Presentation Education
Format: Paperback
It has been some time since I have utilized Beyond Bullet Points, but this is one text book that kept with me. The point of the book is to help a presenter get their point across to the audience through Powerpoint presentations, and the book does this well. I am sure there are editions other than this one at this point, and I would definitely recommend looking into them in order to keep up to date. Starting with this book is a great idea due to its simplicity.

This book will make a difference in your presentation.
Format: Paperback
If you rely on Powerpoint-like presentation in your work, get Cliff Atkinson's Beyond Bullet Points. I had determined that improving my company's presentations had potentially very high returns so I started poking around the net and Amazon for resources to help. At first, I struck out with books that were supposed to improve presentations, but ended up being guides on technically how to use Powerpoint. That was NOT what I was looking for. Beyond Bullet Points is very different. It is a philosophy about creating presentations whose purpose is to communicate a story, not dump information. Frankly, it was not intuitive for me so I had to decide to just trust that it would work. When I was about ¾ finished, I started to really "feel" what I was doing. And, to my surprise, the most unlikely people really liked the result. In a world where most business and how-to books are nothing more that restating what you already know (or, what you know isn't true), this one is an exception. I highly recommend it!
