In 1977, the world-renowned painter Balthasar Klossowski de Rola (Balthus) acquired the chalet, transforming it into a private artistic retreat. He lived and worked there for nearly 25 years, welcoming artists, intellectuals, and close collaborators. His widow, Setsuko Klossowska de Rola, continued to maintain the chalet as a cultural landmark after his passing in 2001.<ref>{{Cite web |title=At the Grand Chalet in Rossinière, Balthus’s family continues to make art |url=https://www.artbasel.com/stories/balthus-chalet-rossiniere-setsuko-klossowska-de-rola |access-date=2025-02-20 |website=Art Basel |language=en}}</ref>
