The Mountain
Balthus uses both realistic and surreal imagery to give The Mountain a sense of mystery. We call this contemporary painter Balthus because his name’s a mouthful. Count Balthasar Klossowski de Rola. His paintings are hard enough to digest without swallowing that too. Also, the alias Balthus has the same distinctive grace we see in his paintings.
It’s easy to pick out a Balthus piece among modern artworks. His muted palette, clean lines, and sensual resonance are unmistakable. This painting sits among the early work of Balthus. The plan was for this to be part of a series about the seasons. We can get a sense of summer in the work. But once complete, it was clear this painting’s all about The Mountain.
