  1. "Portrait of Suzanne Valadon," Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, 1885.

    Comte Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Montfa (1864-1901) is best known for his paintings depicting prostitutes or showgirls at the Moulin Rouge, but he also did a number of very nice portraits.

    In the 1880s he became close friends with fellow painter Suzanne Valadon (whose work I've featured) and it's believed they were lovers, and that she wanted to marry. But the relationship was severed in 1888 and she attempted suicide not long after.

    This portrait is from the first years of their relationship. Here Suzanne seems to be approaching the viewer while walking through a park in autumn. Her expression is unreadable but Toulouse-Lautrec makes her stand out in her purple dress. She dominates the canvas.

    Henri himself was an alcoholic with a fondness for prostitutes. He also had a number of health problems, some genetic (his parents were first cousins and his family was somewhat inbred) and he was famously short, due to both legs being broken as a child and ceasing to grow. Valadon seems to be expressing anxiety and care about the viewer, and about Henri. Maybe?

    Happy Portrait Monday!

    “Suzanne Valadon was a French painter and model of artists. In 1894 she became the first woman painter admitted to the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. Valadon painted still lifes, portraits, flowers, and landscapes that are noted for their strong composition and vibrant colors. . . She was also a cat lover and often painted her cats, especially her favorite, the chubby Raminou.” — Zuzanna Stanska

  3. "The Rose in the Mirror," Suzanne Valadon, 1909.

    Valadon (1865-1938) was the first woman admitted to Paris' Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. She never really stuck to one particular school, and is commonly classed as Post-Impressionist or Symbolist. She also stirred controversy; she painted male nudes, then unheard of for a woman artist, and also painted non-idealized, realistic female nudes.

    She modelled for Renoir and Toulouse-Lautrec, briefly worked as a trapeze artist in a circus, and appears to have been self-taught when it came to painting. She bore a son out of wedlock, who later became the painter Maurice Utrillo; the identity of his father is unknown, thought to be either Renoir or Degas; her friend, painter Miguel Utrillo, signed the certificate, becoming his legal parent, purportedly quipping that he'd be happy to sign his name to the work of Renoir or Degas.

    She was an acclaimed artist, lived a sultry life full of incident (an affair with composer Erik Satie, for instance, or leaving her husband for a friend of her son's), and is still respected and admired today.

  10. La vie de Suzanne Valadon tient du roman. Née de père inconnu, d’une mère pauvre, elle grandit dans le Montmartre populaire, bohème de la fin du 19ème, où elle devient modèle pour les artistes. Mais cette femme libre, autodidacte, va devenir elle-même peintre.
