“這幅畫是藝術家巴爾蒂斯迷戀青春期少女的體現(xiàn)，毫無疑問是他將兒童賦予性意味的作品，”梅里爾表示，“紐約大都會藝術博物館的行為可能會在無意中表達了對兒童色情的支持?！?/div>
巴爾蒂斯（Balthus，1908-2001），原名巴爾塔扎·克洛索夫斯基·德羅拉（Balthasar KlossowskideRola），波蘭裔法國畫家，現(xiàn)代藝術家，具象繪畫大師，被畢加索稱為"20世紀最偉大的畫家"。其作品既廣受推崇，又極富爭議，那些描繪青春期少年的作品尤為有名。在現(xiàn)代藝術激烈變革的時代，巴爾蒂斯卻是一位具有古典主義情結的畫家，鐘情于文藝復興時期的藝術，構圖嚴謹，畫面寧靜而抒情。巴爾蒂斯出生于法國的一個波蘭族貴族家庭，父母都是藝術家。他13歲便在德國詩人里爾克的鼓勵下開始作畫，一生沒有受過專業(yè)美術教育，以臨摹名畫來學習技法。1934年就在巴黎舉辦了首場個人畫展，隨后超現(xiàn)實主義者邀他加入，被他拒絕。他獨自一人創(chuàng)作，1950年代中期開始贏得了廣泛聲譽，在紐約現(xiàn)代美術館、威尼斯雙年展、蓬皮杜國家現(xiàn)代藝術博物館、大都會藝術博物館均有展出他的作品。1961年被任命為羅馬法蘭西學院院長，曾獲法國國家藝術大獎（1976年）、日本藝術家協(xié)會國際藝術獎等獎項。1980年威尼斯雙年展特辟專室展出他的繪畫，1983年巴黎蓬皮杜中心舉行“向巴爾蒂斯致敬”的盛大回顧展。而在2001年2月18日，巴爾蒂斯以92歲高齡在瑞士去世時，世界各大報都以“20世紀最后的巨匠”贊譽他的藝術成就。2001年9月至2002年1月，威尼斯格拉西宮舉行最大規(guī)模的巴爾蒂斯回顧展，展出250幅作品，完全肯定了他在美術史上的地位。
