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.
Review:
"This album provides an ideal means of discovering this still controversial painter's astonishing oeuvre."
Washington Post Book World, 12/08/1996

Minor shelf wear to dust jacket; interior clean tight and unmarked. ; ; 11.5 x 0.75 x 10.25 Inches; 160 pages; "A profoundly sensual painter, both in his handling of paint and in his subject matter. What's . . . magnificent here is the artist's sense of eroticism and immense talent." —Booklist With the death of Balthus in February 2001, the world lost one of the great painters of the 20th century. This book, published in hardcover in 1996 to critical acclaim, offers the widest selection available in print of Balthus's work. The author, Balthus's son, contributes a new introduction to this expanded paperback edition, which features two additional works: Balthus's last painting, The Waiting, and the controversial Guitar Lesson of 1934. A unique collection of rare personal photographs, including images by the famed photographer Henri Cartier- Bresson, completes this tribute to one of the great artists of recent times.
