Everett Fahy (29 mars 1941-23 avril 2018)
When Balthus’private archives were deposited at the Musée Cantonal des Beaux Arts in Lausanne, his atelier yielded a last mystery: a series of preparatory photographs that were used as sketches for a large landscape painted in the beginning of the 1940s, Le Gottéron.

When Balthus’private archives were deposited at the Musée Cantonal des Beaux Arts in Lausanne, his atelier yielded a last mystery: a series of preparatory photographs that were used as sketches for a large landscape painted in the beginning of the 1940s, Le Gottéron.
