This is an effort to convey, through a painted composition, music which has variety, a harmonious quality, and balance. Here, translated from the French, is what art commentator and editor Bernard Dato has to say about LEGATO: The viewer of a painting is deaf. He observes the forms; he contemplates the colors; he examines the light, but he hears nothing! "Legato" is an Italian word meaning "connection" - which is, in music, to bond the notes of a melody. And it is about link in this painting. As often with William Buffett, it is the house plant that takes the role. Two of the tips of the leaves connect the bow of the cellist to the lute of the other musician. Note that the ends of these two leaves specifically take the form of both violoncellist's hair strands; Buffett paces this curve as a round note who would pace the melody. But the most remarkable, the most unexpected, finally, is that the artist does not represent the strings of both instruments. These curiously absent strings, the viewer is forced to imagine them and thus, they are conspicuous by their absence - specifically, they "vibrate" by their absence. And this vibration, invisible but perceptible, comes to help the wind to inflate the room curtains. Finally, the blue and red, saturated and bright, and the brilliant white of the outside light -emerging in a pictorial composition which, in addition, the colors are pale and unsaturated -, could do a sound and harmonious music that stand in the gray noise. The viewer of a painting is deaf, we said; however, here, hearing returns ! Paul Klee said: "Art does not reproduce the visible. It makes visible." In « Legato », the ultimate art of William Buffett makes "audible". And this is not the least of the artist's qualities as knowing how to paint with a bow. Magnifique!

A graduate of The Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, William Buffett has sold his work all over the world. He is known for his tropical townscapes, featuring palm trees and glimpses of the ocean. As a native of Southern California, he represents these landscapes in a delicate and sensual way with subtle colors and intuitive compositions. After formal training in the arts, he moved to New Orleans to see the jazz players and hear their music. The painting of jazz musicians is his true passion and he seems to capture the sound of the music in his dynamic paintings. A world traveler, he has visited Europe, Mexico and the Far East studying the great art collections. He enjoys success as a portrait painter, designer and printer of limited edition serigraphs and as a widely distributed poster artist, in addition to exhibiting and selling his original paintings. Today his work is in the collections of universities, corporations, and private individuals in America, Europe, Australia and Japan, as well as many islands in the Caribbean and Pacific. He presently lives and works in Nashville, Tennessee and is married to the well known abstract artist and interior designer Brenda Buffett.
