In 'Memories', Balthus reflects on his life and dedication to painting, an art to which he devoted himself with the same passion and humility as others to religion. From a young age, he felt like a craftsman, studying the great masters such as Masaccio and Piero della Francesca to understand their unique light. In the contemplation of the Italian primitives, Balthus united East and West, Fra Angelico with Poussin and Cézanne. A friend of Modigliani and Picasso, Balthus dictated these memoirs at the end of his life, revealing the meaning of his paintings and his pursuit of perfection beyond technique, in ethics.
