Balthus the Painter (1908-2001) 記錄 [vhs]
Balthus, the Polish-French modern classical artist
Balthus’s style is primarily classical. His work shows numerous influences, including the writings of Emily Brontë, the writings and photography of Lewis Carroll, and the paintings of Masaccio, 皮耶羅·德拉·弗朗西斯卡, 西蒙娜·馬提尼, 普桑, Jean-Étienne Liotard, Joseph Reinhardt, Géricault, 安格爾, 戈雅, Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Courbet, Edgar Degas, Félix Vallotton and Paul Cézanne. Although his technique and compositions were inspired by pre-renaissance painters, there also are eerie intimations of contemporary surrealists like de Chirico. Painting the figure at a time when figurative art was largely ignored, he is widely recognised as an important 20th-century artist.
