But their true friendship was born much later, in 1974, when Brayer actively worked to have him elected to the Acad\u00e9mie des Beaux-Arts. This was achieved on January 22, 1975.<br\/><br\/>Yves Brayer and Bernard Buffet share far more than their passion for painting: the same deep love of art, whether ancient or Flemish, Romantic or modern. They admire Gros, Delacroix, G\u00e9ricault, Goya and Francis Gruber \u2014 a close friend of Brayer. Both are fierce defenders of Figuration, stubbornly rejecting Abstraction. They are also two tireless workers: one paints by day, the other prefers the night.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A selection of works from 1947 to 1998 offers an insight into the great variety of Bernard Buffet\u2019s work. This exhibition, <em>An Artists\u2019 Friendship, <\/em>pays tribute to this rare relationship, marked by deep friendship and mutual admiration. To celebrate it, works by Yves Brayer echo those of Bernard Buffet, in a sensitive and silent dialogue, just as Bernard Buffet\u2019s works revisit the permanent collections.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To visit from May 7 to November 9, 2025 at the Mus\u00e9e Yves Brayer in Les Baux-de-Provence.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For all information: www.yvesbrayer.com<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/oTP8rKThJj1aCqze7\">Virtual Tour of the Museum<\/a><\/h3>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8jqUZs1vbKs&amp;t=10s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Museum Presentation VIDEO 3&#8217;40&#8221;<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>OPENING HOURS:<br\/><\/strong>From April to September: every day from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM and from 2:00 PM to 6:30 PM <br\/>From October to March: from 1:00 PM to 5:30 PM, closed on Tuesdays <br\/>Annual closure: January, February and early March<strong> <br\/><\/strong>Reopening on Thursday, March 5, 2026 at 1:00 PM<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ADMISSION:<br\/><\/strong>Adults: \u20ac8.00 per person<br\/>Groups of 10 and more: \u20ac4.00 per person<br\/>Free: 17 and under (accompanied by an adult) <br\/>Half-price on presentation of the PASS BAUX-DE-PROVENCE (Carri\u00e8res de Lumi\u00e8res + Ch\u00e2teau des Baux): \u20ac4 per person<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>For any further information<br\/>Tel: 04 90 54 36 99 or 04 90 97 78 53<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>For any documentation about the exhibition<br\/>Tel: 06 21 23 06 92 or 06 23 16 47 75<br\/>Email: <a href=\"mailto:olivier@yvesbrayer.com\">olivier@yvesbrayer.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the Mus\u00e9e Yves Brayer in Les Baux-de-ProvenceTemporary exhibitionBERNARD BUFFET &#8211; An Artists\u2019 Friendship May 7 &gt; November 9, 2026 It was in 1947 that their paths first crossed, when they served on the jury of the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts, and then in 1948 at the Salon d\u2019Automne, where Bernard Buffet was admitted as a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1745,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[46],"class_list":["post-1744","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-temporary-exhibition","tag-46"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yvesbrayer.buro-arles.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1744","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yvesbrayer.buro-arles.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yvesbrayer.buro-arles.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yvesbrayer.buro-arles.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yvesbrayer.buro-arles.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1744"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/yvesbrayer.buro-arles.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1744\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1746,"href":"https:\/\/yvesbrayer.buro-arles.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1744\/revisions\/1746"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yvesbrayer.buro-arles.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yvesbrayer.buro-arles.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1744"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yvesbrayer.buro-arles.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1744"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yvesbrayer.buro-arles.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1744"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
