James Kalm has been a fan of the Work of Balthus (Balthasar Klossowski de Rola, 1908-2001) since the late 1960s. Representing a confluence of restrained classic figuration and Surrealistic erotic narrative, Balthus looms as a painterly enigma over the second half of twentieth century art. This exhibition presents works that were painted in France between the mid 1930s and 1960, and focuses on the repeated theme of "Cats and Girls". A series of ink drawing created when the artist was only eleven years old, and thought lost, are also presented. The exhibition is made possible by the Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw Charitable Trust, the Tana Matisse Foundation, and Diane Carol Brandt.
