3. Starring Balthus as the Cheshire Cat - Confluence
Sep 10, 2021 · Based on the content of Balthus's paintings and his work with young models throughout his career, critics have accused Balthus of pedophilia.
Balthus, born Balthasar Klossowski, most famously painted cats and girls. The public narrative surrounding Balthus, a mysterious and somewhat narcissistic figure, is ambiguous. He harbored a curious preoccupation with the adolescent girls who frequently appeared as the subject matter in his paintings. Of them, he painted his model Thérèse Blanchard obsessively, depicting her time and time again. In Balthus’s depictions, Thérèse (as well as other young girls) recline unnaturally in luxurious chaises, against severe backgrounds, and are often accompanied by a grinning cat. Despite Balthus’s masterful technique, his paintings garnered no shortage of criticism, particularly surrounding the suggestive portrayals of adolescents. Balthus’s critics may not be necessarily wrong: his paintings are ethically questionable at best and pedophilic at worst. He is undeniably deserving of such criticism; however, many critics seek to demonize him without seeking to understand Balthus at more than a surface level. Balthus’s paintings are carefully arranged and painted with purpose. Intentionally or not, his careful planning forces the observer into a voyeuristic position. Specifically, Balthus’s inclusion of cats elevates the aesthetic quality of his portraiture by forcing observers to confront the nature of their gaze.
