"Guy Buffet was born in Paris in 1943. His father took young Guy for walks in Montparnasse to show him famous landmarks such as "La Coupole”, (one of the artist's favorite eateries even today) , where famous artists such as Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, George Braque and Tsuguhara Foujita would spend most of their days and evenings. Those artists became heroes and models for Guy Buffet's future life. One summer, he was invited to spend some time in the country with an artist friend of the family, and he fell in love with the smells and the feelings of an artist's studio. By the end of the visit, he had completed a large 2’ x 3’ painting, which surprised everyone for it's composition and wonderful colors and brush strokes. In fact, it was so well-received that the artist friend wouldn't let Guy Buffet use his studio ever again! Guy decided at that moment to become an artist." (from Lahaina Galleries) .
