Balthus showed no interest in modern art such as cubism, his paintings was primarily classical and figurative. One inspiration for Balthus was his own brother, Pierre, how was a philosopher and writer.
I admire him 'cause he always made controversy world of art with his paintings showing young girls in erotic and voyeuristic contexts. Balthus said his work was not erotic, he saw childs as a simbol of purify and naivety.
We also have something in common, a big fascination with cats! You can see in several paintings cats in the place.
Wow, I just saw some of his paintings and the are really interesting and intriguing at the same time.
