Balthasar Klossowski de Rola, known as Balthus, was a Polish-French modern artist, known for his erotically-charged images of pubescent girls, but also for the refined, dreamlike quality of his imagery. Balthus's work demonstrates a commitment to classical painting while applying those techniques upon subject matter that reflects the concerns of the modern era in a highly restrained yet nonetheless often charged manner, revealing signs of sexuality, social transgression and anomie.
