		The writer and artist Pierre Klossowski had the sort of upbringing guaranteed to foster an icon or a transgressor - or, in his case (and that of his younger brother Balthus), both.
		In the end, says Klossowski, Roberte triumphs: in contrast to the Sadean extremes of torture visited on the adolescent female form, Roberte's body is transformed into a kind of pure spiritual drama whose final act is the assertion of her philosophical, moral and physical maturity.

	Illuminations: Kellner
		Klossowski interrogates the relationship between impulses, ideas, memory, intellect, and other categories, disclosing Nietzsche's unique philosophical perspectives and questioning of major philosophical categories which are displaced, deconstructed, and in some cases demolished in relation to Nietzsche's mediations on impulses and related conceptions of instinct, phantasms, and simulacra.
		Klossowski reads Nietzsche's doctrine of the eternal recurrence as a translation into language of his most profound experiences which further put in question major philosophical concepts such as the self, life, fate, necessity, causality, and other key conceptions in the Western philosophical arsenal.
		Klossowski himself develops a concept of the "vicious circle" to point to the scandal of the doctrine of eternal recurrence, how it confounds rational and scientific explanation, and how it forces one to become another self with another vision of the world to accept it.

	Pierre Klossowski
		Klossowski continued to draw and, at the encouragement of friends such as Bataille, Alberto Giacometti, and André Masson, he showed his drawings in a small private exhibition in 1956.
		Klossowski appreciated the precision of his unskilled lead or color line - the shades didn't spread or soften and there was nothing polished about the result.
		Klossowski drew a number of portraits of friends (Bataille, Roland Barthes, Louis René des Forêts, André Gide…) but, for the most part, his drawings are stages in which his literary characters appear.

	H-France Reviews
		Klossowski’s view of philosophy as a fundamentally personal process of self-discovery and a form of solidarity with others, rather than as a call for collective engagement and social reform, placed him closer to Camus than Sartre, though he never openly took sides in the grand polemic between the two.
		Klossowski’s career as a creative artist began in 1954 with the publication of Roberte Tonight, the first in a series of self-illustrated, neo-Sadean novels whose heroine is, shockingly, an alter ego of the author’s wife Denise, a former deportee and survivor of Ravensbrück whom he married in 1947.
		Klossowski concludes by claiming that “a so-called ‘erotic’ painting, representing a rape scene, has nothing in common with the simulacrum of appropriation of the female body by the vision of her as a nude.

	Sade My Neighbor, Pierre Klossowski
		In a world where "the unthinkable" had become reality, it is small wonder that theorists would turn to the writings of a man whose eighteenth-century imagination preceded twentieth-century history in its unbridled exploration of viciousness, perversion, and monstrosity: the Marquis de Sade.
		Klossowski was one of the first philosophers in postwar Europe to ask whether Sade's reason, although aberrant and perverted to evil passions, could be taken seriously.
		Klossowski's seminal work inspired virtually all subsequent study of Sadean thought, including that of de Beauvoir, Deleuze, Derrida, Bataille, Blanchot, Paulhan, and Lacan.

		As a draftsman, Klossowski made an endless number of clumsy, large-scale images in graphite or colored pencil, typically showing, for instance, a clergyman fondling an ado lescent boy, or a nude woman tied to a bed while a dwarf and another man both make plays for her.
		Klossowski was still a teenager in 1923 when his mother Baladine's lover, the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, introduced him to Andre Gide, a celebrated pedophile.
		Drillon added that Klossowski's version of The Aeneid is a "kind of unsurpassable masterpiece, but it's impossible to translate the way he did!" Once again, like all writers on two freres klo, we can compare and contrast with Balthus, whose favorite writers, according to his biographer Nicholas Fox Weber, were Ian Fleming and Barbara Cartland.

	Center for Book Culture: News: Remembering Pierre Klossowski
		Pierre Klossowski, artist and author of such books as Nietzsche and the Vicious Circle, Sade My Neighbor, and Diana at her Bath, died earlier this month at his home in Paris.
		Klossowski is best known for his writing and drawings--both of which were much influenced by the Marquis de Sade and Georges Bataille, whom Klossowski studied with at the College of Sociologie--which explore the connections of the mind and body through the lens of sexuality.
		Klossowski was born in Paris in 1905, the son of an art critic and a painter and the elder brother of the recently deceased painter Balthus.

		Pierre Klossowski (1905-) is the author of numerous philosophical works, as well as several novels.
		Klossowski has been one of the few commentators to recognise the centrality of the idea of the drives (Triebe) for Nietzsche and the crucial role they play in the thought of eternal recurrence.
		Klossowski claims this is not accounted for in Nietzsche's distinction between overmen and the last men - masters and sensually-satisfied drones.

		Klossowski shows how the doctrine causes tensions with other of Nietzsche's ideas and how it led Nietzsche to question his own sanity and to seek scientific validation of the concept.

	Kaufman's Response (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		By reading Deleuze alongside Klossowski we see how (like the image that is not just the image but also the disjunction of vision and sound) there is immobility, which is not just immobility but the disjunction of movement and arrested movement.
		In this adaptation that condenses several of Klossowski's works of fiction, the comically bombastic art critic-narrator (a version of Octave in _The Revocation of the Edict of Nantes_) presents a continually displaced hypothesis about why one painting in a series of works by the painter Tonnerre is missing.

		Klossowski, who identifies this work as "gnosis or fable, or Oriental tale," investigates the problematic nature of identity by asking what becomes of a soul dissociated from a body.
		This question is further complicated by the "pure" souls' erotic interest in the alluring and recently abandoned body of a young page, variously populated by the spirits of the dissipated Grand Master of the Order and of St. Theresaa situation that allows Klossowski to stage a discussion of idolatry and the nature of deities.
		Foucault's essay further illuminates the theoretical principles at stake in Klossowski's adumbrated visions of eternity.

		In Paris, Pierre Klossowski was associated with the Surrealists, forming particularly close friendships with the writer Georges Bataille and with André Masson.
		However, theology was a strong influence on Klossowski, and he began to study for the priesthood during the Nazi Occupation of Paris (1940–44).
		Klossowski’s sculpture for a long time remained relatively unknown, despite regular exhibitions from 1968 and the support of Michel Leiris, Michel Foucault and other influential critics.

		Pierre Klossowski, como el mismo se definía, no era un escritor, ni un pensador, ni un filósofo, era un monómano, alguien que privilegia una y otra vez, incansablemente, una única escena, la escena de un cuerpo que se entrega a la mirada de otro.
