Pierre Klossowski

ByKaren Posted on Updated on Art Gallery

6 albums/70 artworks – Pierre Klossowski (1905 – 2001) was a French writer and artist whose Mannerist-inspired art explored homoerotism and sadomasochistic imagery. Though less well-known than his older brother Balthus, Klossowski has been the subject of a renewed critical interest following a 2015 retrospective exhibition at Gladstone Gallery in New York. Recalling the Surrealist eroticism of Hans Bellmer, his work often featured young men engaged in ritualistically violent sex acts rendered in a loose, smooth drawing style. Klossowski wrote full length volumes on the Marquis de Sade and Friedrich Nietzsche, a number of essays on literary and philosophical figures, and five novels.Read more via Wikipedia Pierre Klossowski ←
