Balthus and Magritte Paintings Featured in 2013 Artcritical Post
On December 23, 2013, artcritical published a post featuring two significant 20th-century paintings. Balthus's 1935 oil on canvas "The King of Cats" measures 30.75 by 16.25 inches and belongs to the Fondation Balthus in Switzerland. The work is accompanied by René Magritte's 1936 "Self-Portrait," with copyright managed by Charly Herscovici through ADAGP and ARS. Both artists created these works during the mid-1930s, a period of significant artistic development in European modernism. The Fondation Balthus holds the Balthus painting, while Magritte's estate representation involves specific copyright organizations. The post appeared on artcritical's WordPress-powered platform, which syndicates content through RSS feeds. These two paintings represent distinct approaches to figurative art from the interwar period.
