Balthus, known as Balthasar Klossowski de Rola, was a Polish-French artist famous for his paintings of young girls, often depicting them in a dreamlike, almost voyeuristic way, which generated controversy and discussion. Mieke Bal's analysis focuses on the mysterious feeling of reality and unreality in Balthus's paintings, and the artist's work is often seen as both inviting and repelling viewers.
