Erich Klossowski
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Erich Klossowski (1875 - 1949) was a French/German art historian and a painter, now primarily known as the father of the philosopher Pierre Klossowski and the artist Balthus.
He was born to a noble Polish family (szlachta) of the Rola coat-of-arms, that lived in Prussia. This was precisely the reason for his son Balthus, to add, later in life, "de Rola" to his family name Klossowski.
Erich Klossowski wrote (in German) one of the early monographs on Honoré Daumier, published in Munich, in 1923. He married Elisabeth Dorothea Spiro. Later, the couple moved to Paris.
