Intussen, in het leven van Balthus
Het hele leven1940
Flees the invasion for Savoy
When German forces invade France in 1940, Balthus and his wife Antoinette flee to Savoy, to a farm in Champrovent near Aix-les-Bains.
1940s
Turns from Surrealism to a manner of his own
By the early 1940s Balthus has finally left the principles of Surrealism behind; his attention is drawn to the theme of awakening femininity, and symbolic motifs — a mirror, a butterfly, a cat — and adolescent girls in domestic settings begin to appear in his canvases.
1942
Escapes occupied France for Switzerland
In 1942 Balthus escapes from occupied France to Switzerland, first to Bern.
