Marcel Buffet (1902-2001) - The Summit

- Gouache and ink on artist’s paper. Hand-signed.

- The French painter Marcel Buffet (1922-2022) stands out in the history of art of the second half of the 20th century for his association with the Young Painting movement of the Paris School, developing a deeply personal style that straddles lyrical figuratism and geometric abstraction. With a palette of vibrant colors and a masterful command of space and light, Buffet transformed landscapes, seascapes, and urban scenes into compositions where structure and visual rhythm take precedence over mere imitation of reality.

- Image dimensions without frame: 47 x 65 cm / 64 x 82 cm with frame

At Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of works of art, all unique, original, and one-of-a-kind. Each piece in our gallery results from deep dedication, a creative vision, and masterful technique—qualities that guarantee its authenticity. The works we sell are not industrial reproductions; they are pieces created individually by recognized artists, each with its own story and essence. Originality is the foundation of our commitment to excellence, and therefore every painting or sculpture in our collection is carefully selected to ensure its singularity. Acquiring a work from Montbaron Gallery means owning an irrepeatable piece, an investment in creativity and talent that, over time, will retain both its artistic and emotional value. We are proud to offer works that not only beautify spaces but also connect our clients with the richness of human expression through the most authentic art. Thus, we guarantee that every work that leaves our gallery is a unique piece in the world, with no replicas, and a testament to the innovation and passion of the artists we work with.

Certain lots, due to their age and value, require export permission issued by the Ministry of Culture. Although this is an administrative procedure, it is essential to ensure the authenticity of the work and its free circulation internationally.

Montbaron Gallery is committed to offering its clients original, unique, and one-of-a-kind artworks, guaranteeing the authenticity and quality of each piece in our collection. To ensure transparency and trust in every acquisition, we offer a digital Certificate of Guarantee, signed by a certified art historian. This certificate attests that the acquired work has been authenticated by our specialists, who verify authorship, origin, and condition. The Certificate of Guarantee includes full details about the piece, such as its author, creation date, technique used, and dimensions. The digital Certificate of Guarantee will be issued upon the client’s request, providing an official reference for the purchased piece. This document will be delivered in digital format and will be signed by a gallery art historian, ensuring its validity and backing.

We are committed to our clients’ satisfaction and trust, so any questions about authenticity or the condition of the work will be addressed professionally and diligently. To request your Certificate of Guarantee, please contact us through our usual channels.

As art logistics experts, at Montbaron Gallery we are dedicated to ensuring that each piece reaches its destination safely and in the best possible condition. To this end, we work with a network of professionals specialized in art transport, guaranteeing maximum care throughout the process. It is important to note that shipping costs shown in the listing are indicative and subject to modification depending on various circumstances. These include changes in transport market rates, delivery location changes, the size and weight of the work, and possible extraordinary circumstances such as fluctuations in fuel costs or adjustments to customs and import tariffs. The final shipping cost will be calculated precisely based on these factors, and the client will be informed in advance before shipping proceeds. Our goal is to offer the best possible service, tailored to each client’s needs and ensuring the work arrives quickly and safely, with no surprises.

The frame shown in the preceding images has been added to the work by a third party or by the seller, and is therefore not an integral part of the object. This frame is provided at no additional cost so that, when the work arrives at your home, it can be displayed immediately on your wall. Consequently, damages to the frame that do not affect the integrity of the work will not constitute a valid reason for filing a claim or requesting a cancellation.
