Basic Art Series
French-German painter Count Balthasar Klossowski de Rola (1908-2001), known as Balthus, shocked the Parisian art world in 1934 with his dreamy, sensual, Neo-Classical portraits of nymphets at a time when Surrealism and abstraction were de rigueur. As a provocateur, Balthus was often scorned; as an artist, he was widely embraced as a prodigy.
In response to critics of his realist style, Balthus said: “The real isn?t what you think you see. One can be a realist of the unreal and a figurative painter of the invisible.?
His erotic, poetic paintings live on as examples of the best figurative work of the modern era.
