Balthus
by Sabine Rewald
large softcover in good used condition
Balthus was a Polish-French painter renowned for his enigmatic and timeless style. Rejecting modernist trends, he drew inspiration from Renaissance and classical art, creating works that often depicted adolescent girls in introspective poses, set within dreamlike interiors. His paintings, characterized by their stillness and psychological depth, have sparked both admiration and controversy due to their provocative themes. Throughout his career, Balthus maintained a reclusive persona, emphasizing the visual experience of his art over biographical interpretations. Sabine Rewald, a curator at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, has extensively studied Balthus's work. Her 1984 exhibition catalog, Balthus, offers a comprehensive overview of the artist's career, featuring numerous illustrations and critical essays that delve into his unique approach to painting.
