Balthus

Stanislas Klossowski De Rola; Stanislas Klossowski De Rola; Balthus

Synopsis:
This book is a thorough overview of the work of Balthus, the elusive painter whose fascinating images of young women were greatly admired by the Surrealists. Lush reproductions present the widest selections of Balthus' work ever published including all of his most important paintings and his entire output over the last ten years, and a unique photographic section shows Balthus as a young artist in his studio, and in recent images taken by his friend Cartier-Bresson and others. Balthus has always been convinced that his pictures should be seen, not read about or read into, but bowing to the demands of a career that has encompassed major retrospective exhibitions at the Tate Gallery, London, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and elsewhere, he has permitted his son to create this book.
