Throughout his career, Polish-French modern artist Balthus rejected the usual conventions of the art world. He insisted that his paintings should be seen and not read about, and he resisted any attempts made to build a biographical profile. A telegram sent to the Tate Gallery as it prepared for its 1968 retrospective of his works read: "NO BIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS. BEGIN: BALTHUS IS A PAINTER OF WHOM NOTHING IS KNOWN. NOW LET US LOOK AT THE PICTURES. REGARDS. B." - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I couldn't agree more! Let my poems speak for me.
¨I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a
king of infinite space—were it not that I have bad dreams.˝
