The dream and the reality are superimposed and made one\u003c\/i\u003e.\" --Balthus \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published to document Gagosian Gallery's 2015 Balthus exhibition in Paris, this striking new book depicts the beautiful paintings, drawings, and photographs that were part of that career-spanning exhibition, the first of Balthus's work in Paris since the 1983-84 retrospective at the Centre Georges Pompidou. Vibrant color reproductions of the artist's interior portraits, street scenes, and landscapes, along with striking installation shots, present the self-taught classicism that Balthus cultivated as a framework for his more enigmatic artistic investigations. A conversation between Olivier Zahm and Setsuko Klossowska de Rola completes the catalogue, providing an insightful look into the world of this reclusive painter of charged and disquieting narrative scenes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Olivier Zahm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0847849112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780847849116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gagosian \/ Rizzoli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.60h x 9.60w x 0.70d","brand":"Olivier Zahm","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46670397079807,"sku":"9780847849116","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/balthus-olivier-zahm-9780847849116","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
