Victoria Beckham appears in August issue of Allure magazine. Included in the shoot is this pose , which is a clear homage to Balthus' "Golden Days" painting. Because when you think of high art, your thoughts automatically turn to WAGs. And why not? Fine art is so full of needlessly chubby women. You're among the worst offenders, Peter Paul Rubens . You give heavyset women the ability to describe themselves...

The lustful notion that arise from Balthus’ art is a treasure. It evokes Nabokov’s Lolita and I already see in my mind the hordes attempting a lynch at the artist. Well, too late. Balthus is already dead for a few years (not too many, actually). However, his forever young art lives on. It seems that the spirit of rebellion against conventions is what gives his art its forever fresh vibe.

Born February 29, 1908, in Paris, France, he's one of my favorite artists. He died in 2001 on Feb 19 at age 92. Here's the NYTimes Obit story . Happy Birthday Balthus. The Art of Amy Crehore
