Bernard Buffet is a painter whose barren landscapes, harsh still life, gaunt religious scenes, and sad circus clowns brought him early fame and fortune. His rigorous gothic art is a reflection of his own personality: individualistic, elegant, sober, solitary, and melancholic. His first original lithograph dates from 1952, and from that time, he dedicated himself almost exclusively to this demanding artistic medium. Use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the glass. Tru Vue recommends using a micro-fiber cloth. Spray a small amount of ammonia-free cleaner onto the cloth. Spraying on the cloth will prevent overspray. Press the cloth against the glass and clean in round, circular motions. Never spray directly onto the glass- the cleaner could leak into the frame and damage the image Archival Mat Board Also known as conservation mat board, this is the highest-quality paper matting material available. It is constructed of 100% acid- and lignin-free alpha-cellulose (wood pulp) and treated to resist deterioration and discoloration for up to 300 years. Archival-safe Foam Core Foam core is used to cushion the image in its frame. Ours is constructed of acid-and lignin-free face paper layered atop an extruded polystyrene core for superior resistance to temperature changes and humidity. Made in the U.S. by Ethan Allen artisans
