Balthasar Klossowski de Rola (February 29, 1908 – February 18, 2001), also known as Balthus, was an well-known Polish-French modern artist with a reputation of controversy. Throughout his life, Balthus renounced the conventional traditions of the art world. He asserted that his paintings should be seen, not read about, and he stifled any attempts made to establish a biography. Learn more »
