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.

About The Week of Four Thursdays (La semaine des quatre jeudis)
“The Week of Four Thursdays (La semaine des quatre jeudis)” is one of the most popular art piece of Balthus, in which he paints a young model named Laurence Bataille reclining in abandon and plays with a smiling cat, his perennial subject, commemorates days when school was out and she came to pose. The phrase “La semaine des quatre jeudis” refers to the French tradition of early dismissal of students from their classes on Thursdays, thus a week filled with Thursdays conjures an image of languor during this fantasy vacation from school.About the Art Prints
