The life of Jean Buhot
Jean Buhot (1885-1952) was a French artist and art historian specializing in Far Eastern painting.
He grew up in a family of artists, his father a painter (especially an aquaforist) and his mother completely devoted to him. He trained in painting with his father from an early age, and was even one of his models.
He traveled at the end of high school and frequented a few workshops, all the while graduating with a degree in English. He married the sister of one of his colleagues before being mobilized to the front in 1914, and discovered his vocation as an art historian and painter late after the war, under the influence of his wife who introduced him to Far Eastern painting.
He then became interested in this specialty and taught it at the Louvre School, while producing paintings. He has written several works on the theme of East Asia.
The artist's works and style
The works of Jean Buhot are characterized by perpetual experimentation with Far Eastern painting. Today, he is not well known to the general public, but appreciated and sought after by collectors.
Although some of his paintings or drawings are held in museums in France and around the world, private collectors play a major role in preserving his work.
