Thank you for watching!
Может быть надо подождать в оценкой
Absolutely clear...no need to intellectualise his obsession...and those of his arty friends. A great artist ? no!
He is considered to be one of the greatest artists in history, in spite or because of what seems to appear obsessively as his preferred subject... Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Another time...another world altogether...how relevant is it now?
Great question! Thank you for watching!
You do realise that the cat in the first image in "The Cat" section is a (really bad) copy of a cat by Hogarth, don't yopu?
What a great observation, I had no idea about Hogarth's cat, thank you for pointing it out!
The Cat in The Mirror is one of (at least?) three pictures with similar poses - thank you for the Hogarth reference (a bad copy? that is your opinion) which I find considerably elucidates the three pictures. In the picture shown in Layers in Art film the girl is naked and is showing the cat its own reflection - in the Hogarth the Cat is looking hungrily at a caged bird with clear intent - so the Girl seems to be showing the cat its own predatory face and thus obscuring her own nakedness from the cat's gaze though of course not from ours ! In the other two versions of the set up the Girl is clothed, in different fashions, and she has the mirror facing herself which seems to elicit quite different responses from the Cat.
The Mediterranean Cat - about to consume his fish platter - caught my attention as the Cat, although certainly a Cat, also seems to be very Fox like!???
Balthus does seem to have a lot of fun with his audience!!
@@Thepdela1 Thank you for watching and joining the conversation! Indeed, that cat of the Mediterranean certainly looks like a fox! :)
If "Theresa" was painted on a Beach, on a Sun Lounger, in a Bikini no body would bat an eyelid..... She is fully dressed.... It is the mind of the viewer that is the problem.... :-))
Thank you for watching and joining the talk :)
@@LayersInArtThis is YT... You don`t have to look very far to see a Thong Bikini worn by Ladies of All ages..... :-)) xx
