"[Sabine Rewald] is by far the greatest Balthus scholar ever . . ."--Jerry Saltz, New York Magazine
"The catalogue of Balthus: Cats and Girls is a beautiful piece of work, admirably levelheaded in its treatment of his involvement with his young models."--Jed Perl, The New Republic
An insightful new look at Balthus’s ongoing fascination with cats and girls, including his controversial paintings of young adolescents
Balthus’s lifelong curiosity with the ambiguities and dark side of childhood resulted in his best-known and most iconic works. In these pictures, Balthus (1908-2001) mingles intuition into his young sitters’ psyches with overt erotic desire and forbidding austerity, making them among the most powerful depictions of childhood and adolescence ever committed to canvas. Often included in these scenes are enigmatic cats, possible stand-ins for the artist himself.
Balthus: Cats and Girls is the first book devoted to this subject, focusing on the early decades of the artist’s career from the mid-1930s to the 1950s. Drawing on extensive knowledge of the artist’s life and work, as well as on interviews with Balthus and the models themselves, Sabine Rewald explores the origins and permutations of Balthus’s obsessions with adolescents and felines. She addresses the crucial influence of such key figures as poet Rainer Maria Rilke, his mother’s lover, who acted as Balthus’s surrogate father, but also includes the previously unknown voices of the girl models: their recollections and comments provide a unique perspective on some of the best known and most controversial paintings of the 20th century.

Die Geschichte der streunenden Katze Mitsou hatte schon der Elfjährige in 40 Federzeichnungen erzählt, und Katzen - sein Alter ego? - finden sich immer wieder in den Bildern, für die er berühmt wurde. Anhand von 35 Gemälden aus seiner besten Zeit zwischen 1935 und den 50er Jahren gehen Ausstellung und Katalog erstmals diesem Thema nach. Parallelen zu Lewis Carroll, Rainer Maria Rilke, Thomas Mann, Jean Cocteau und Vladimir Nabokov werden aufgezeigt, die Balthus' Faszination für die ambivalenten bis dunklen Seiten der Kindheit im historischen und literarischen Kontext erhellen. Außerdem machte die Autorin noch lebende Modelle von Balthus' Mädchen-Bildern ausfindig und erfuhr aufschlussreiche Details zu den Sitzungen. - Balthasar Klossowski de Rola, genannt Balthus, Hon.RA (* 29. Februar 1908 in Paris, Frankreich; 18. Februar 2001 in Rossinière, Schweiz) war ein polnisch-deutsch-französischer Maler. 1991 erhielt er für sein Lebenswerk das Praemium Imperiale.
