Balth, Carel

Carel Balth (Rotterdam, November 25, 1939 – Vreeland, July 10, 2019) was a Dutch artist and curator. He was self-taught and lived and worked in the Netherlands and Italy. Between 1987 and 1999 he worked regularly from his studio in White Street in New York. The main themes in his work are light, time, space and movement. Balth has made many different kinds of works in his career, but his hallmark is exploring the intersections between abstract photography, painting and new media. 60s/70s: Light Objects In the late 1960s, he began with the abstract Light Objects, made of crystal-clear plexiglass, sometimes combined with metal bands. By cutting the material and then projecting artificial light onto the object, he creates special light and shadow lines and shapes on the wall, creating a new composition. He had several exhibitions at the avant-garde Galerie Swart in Amsterdam. Mondriaan and Lucio Fontana are important for the development of his work.

Balthus

Balthasar Klossowski de Rola (February 29, 1908 – February 18, 2001), known as Balthus, was a Polish-French modern artist. He is known for his erotically charged images of young girls, but also for the refined, dreamlike quality of his imagery. Throughout his career, Balthus rejected the usual conventions of the art world. He insisted that his paintings should be seen and not read about, and he resisted attempts to build a biographical profile. Nevertheless, towards the end of his life he took part in a series of dialogues with the neurobiologist Semir Zeki, conducted at his chalet at Rossinière, Switzerland and at the Palazzo Farnese (French Embassy) in Rome. They were published in 1995 under the title La Quête de l'essentiel, and in them he gives some of his views on art, painting and some other painters.
