Is this Balthus who painted this?

I can't say I like his work, but it seems he's a quite famous painter.:hmm:
 
Thanks! I have always found it interesting that Bono was friends with Balthus. He tells some great stories about their relationship in the book Bono in conversation. I'm not a fan of Balthus' work as a painter but I like the respect B has for him and his family.

Bono was at the funeral of Balthus in 2001

During the service, Bono, the lead singer of the rock band U2, sang for the crowd of 350 mourners, which included the revered French photographer Henri Cartier- Bresson, the Aga Kahn and the Australian supermodel Elle McPherson.

I love the character lines in Bono's forehead. Sexy.

Seriously, I agree. I think he looks very intense here. And I find his hair funny, just the way it is styled. It's longer now on top, I like that. It may be the rain or humidity, but it looks quite funny.
