Customer Reviews

Good quality reproduction, good selection, ordinary text

I had a look at this book and I intend to buy it. It has a good selection of pictures, including some important ones that are missing from other books (eg the guitar lesson).Quality of images is good and captures the pictures I have seen in person well.The commentary adds little to the pictures but does have some interesting material about Balthus. and some pictures of him. Even though more expensive than the book by Balthus's son, it has the advantage of more background information and a lack of censorship of pictures - apparently Balthus did not want "the guitar player" to be published but it is in this book.
