Time Out says

One of the most acclaimed yet controversial artists of the 20th century, Balthus and his work defy simple description. This extensive retrospective presents not only his oil paintings of landscapes and mysterious young girls, but also a full-on reconstruction of the master's beloved atelier in Switzerland.
