Product Description:
Balthus was beloved by the Surrealists and often reviled by the public. His unsettling depictions of adolescent sexuality made his work a cause célèbre in his time. This documentary from Damian Pettigrew (FELLINI: I'M A BORN LIAR) captures the artist at work in his studio, while interviews with family and friends shed light on Balthus's extraordinary life.
Description by Facets Multi-Media:
Award-winning director Damian Pettigrew (Fellini: I'm a Born Liar) offers this definitive portrait of Balthus, a modern artist whose work was nonetheless out of step with most modern movements. His huge canvases with their thickly applied paint feature dreamy adolescent girls in enigmatic poses, resulting in an erotically charged and oddly disorienting style. Pettigrew's documentary highlights the painter's complex creative process as he films the artist at work in his studio in the Swiss mountains. Famous friends and family members bare witness to the great artist's life in exclusive interviews, accompanied by photos by such luminaries as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Irving Penn. In French with optional English subtitles.
