Renoir and Valadon: Artist and Model
Description
Auguste Renoir is a great name in the Impressionist world, painting many iconic masterpieces. In his early works he used key models, one of the most famous being the ex-acrobat Suzanne Valadon. She appears in ‘Dance at Bougival’ and ‘The Umbrellas’ and also modelled for Toulouse-Lautrec.
After giving birth to the artist Utrillo, Valadon became a fine painter in her own right, learning from Degas and Renoir among many. We learn of her fascinating life among the artists of Montmartre.
Suitable for all art enthusiasts.
