“Therese on a Bench Seat” is Balthus’ last known painting and most whimsical in its depiction of Therese Blanchard, his young neighbour, unsmiling and aloof, wearing a bright red sweater and dangling a string. Balthus’ fixation with teenage girls resulted in both superb, absolutely anti-modernist artworks and accusations of paedophilia, throughout his entire career and after his death too. |

Balthasar Klossowski de Rola, known as Balthus, was a Polish-French modern artist, known for his erotically-charged images of pubescent girls, but also for the refined, dreamlike quality of his imagery. Balthus's work demonstrates a commitment to classical painting while applying those techniques upon subject matter that reflects the concerns of the modern era in a highly restrained yet nonetheless often charged manner, revealing signs of sexuality, social transgression and anomie.
