Guy Buffet was born
in Paris on January 13, 1943. His parents were in the restaurant
business and were fond of art. Guy Buffet learned early that his
neighborhood had once been the home of such artistic figures as
Chagall, Matise, Picasso, and Modigliani. "At home there was
always talk about these famous painters," he says, "and
I used to listen to these conversations while doing my homework
at the kitchen table. I remember drawing on napkins and the linen
tablecloths while my brothers were busy with kitchen preparations."
