Balthasar Klossowsky Balthus

Balthasar Klossowsky Balthus (1908 - 2001) was active/lived in France.  Balthasar Balthus is known for Landscape, figure and nude painting.

Balthus was born Balthasar Klossowski de Rola in Paris on February 29, 1908.  Klossowski is a name that goes back for centuries in the Polish nobility, but he is also descended from the Gordons of Scotland, the most notable of whom was Lord Byron.  His father was a noted critic whose house was always full of artists, writers, musicians, poets, psychologists and philosophers.  For young Balthasar, the talk in the salon was an education in itself.    

It was the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke who started him on his career.  Balthus was eleven when he showed Rilke some drawings he had made of a pet cat that had suddenly disappeared.  The poet was so enchanted that he wrote a little text to accompany the drawings, and in time they were published in a little book.  Artist friends of the family, Bonnard, Derain and Vuillard, encouraged the boy, and by the time he was twenty-eight, Balthus was an established painter in his own right.&nb   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 5416 characters.]  Artist bio
