Dirt jacket notes: "The portray of Balthus, enigmatic, poetic, and debatable, is either deeply conventional and substantially glossy. In tracing a few of its kinship with the poetry of Rilke (Balthus's formative years mentor), with Picasso and others, man Davenport makes an attempt during this set of meditations written over a number of years in his notebooks to put Balthus because the smooth grasp in whose arms the nice culture of Western work now mostly lies. those terse notes recommend readings of numerous of the main work, hint issues and habitual pictures, and pose speculative principles concerning the which means and nature of Balthus. those notes aren't an orderly argument by means of an artwork critic yet a development of responses, kind of aim, by way of a author who sees Balthus as a good poet in addition to a superb painter."

Its stretched Chagallian figure and allusions to private associations show the likenesses and differences of the two painters.
