Summary: Somewhat dissapointing
Comment: First thing, when I bought the book the edition was said to be, on the Amazon[.com] web site, Hardcover when it really was Paperback. Secondly, it was promoted elsewhere as "catalogue raisonné" when it does NOT include any comments on the paintings. Just as well the paintings are worth it by themselves...

Rating: 4
Summary: Balthus
Comment: A wonderful book, considering how little is really known about the great artist, although I wish more personal information had been forthcoming. Some personal photos of Balthus at work are also included.

Authored by his son, this book attempts to dispel some of the mystery with a few photos and facts about the great man himself, yet leaves us yearning for more. However the prints of Balthus' most famous works (pubescent girls) manage to maintain the barely restrained sensuality and dreamlike quality of the original paintings - a quality usually lost in textbook prints. Here they are reproduced faithfully, and take your breath away with their sheer eroticism.
