PUBLIC LIBRARY 1 ^ /X MAY 2'68 -7 The Valadon Drama The Life of Suzanne Valadon By JOHN STORM I ILLUSTRATED One of France's great woman artists, mistress of Renoir, and mother of Maurice Utrillo, Suzanne Valadon THE (1865-1938) lived a life as tempestu- ous and dramatic as the immortal era in French art in which she played a vital role. From early infancy until her death Suzanne Valadon belonged to the Bohemian world of Montmartre, then the center of the artistic life of Paris and the world. There, throughout her life, one of the most dynamic movements in the history of art raged about her. By turns a street waif, a circus performer, and a vivacious and lovely model, Suzanne Valadon be- came a powerful and original artist in her own right. She was also the teacher and protector of her famous but tragic son, whose world, like hers, centered in Montmartre. From the day when at the age of six- teen she first stood with other hopeful models by the fountain in the Place PIgalle, eager to enter the world of the painters, Suzanne Valadon saw herself as a part of the artist's work of creation. As quick to respond to love as to art, she soon became the mistress of the great muralist Puvis "Hbook, the first full-length biography" of Suzanne Valadon, is not only a moving and fascinating life story, but also a vivid panorama of the French artistic world in the famous period of the Impressionist and early mod- ern painters.

DRAMA Prefc-ace SUZANNE VALADON LIVED HER LIFE AMONG PEOPLE WITH whom communication was largely on a personal and vocal basis. She had no opportunity to express herself to them in writing, and as she was extremely wary of the written word, it is unlikely that she would have written had there been opportunity. She kept no journal or diary. Suzanne Valadon acted and she talked. Almost all her life she lived in the heart of the Montmartre Butte, and for the greater part of that time one of the most dynamic move- ments in the history of art raged about her. Only during the first months of her life was she physically detached from that history. Alone, of all the artists who flocked to "the Sacred Hill" with their causes of Impressionism, Symbolism, Fauvism, Cubism, and other "schools," she belonged to the Montmartre scene quite literally from the cradle to the grave. It is interesting to note that on the Butte, which is strangely loath to commemorate the passing of its great personages with the blue and white plaques so often seen elsewhere in Paris, the Montmartrois themselves have installed a marble plaque on the Moulin Joyeux in rue du Mont-Cenis in her honor. No such marking records the passage of Lautrec, Degas, Cezanne, Monet, or Manet, nor Picasso, Braque, Modi- gliani, or Dufy. "Dans ce restaurant La Grande Artiste Suzanne Valadon 13 14 a dine de 1919 & 1955 accompagnee souvent de son fils Maurice Utrillo" But her life was in nowise spent solely among artists. Tradesmen, waiters, police, postmen, concierges, models, prostitutes, critics, writers, actors, musicians, sportsmen the ragtag and bobtail of the quarter were among her friends and confidants. In many respects they were also her audi- ence, for there was always something of a theatrical air in both her private and her public performances. It is largely from their recollections of her that I have drawn her story. Suzanne Valadon loved to talk; and in her later years par- ticularly, she was eager to speak to almost anyone who would listen to her. In her studio, in her kitchen, in any of the dozens of cafes and restaurants about the Place du Tertre, she would regale her listeners with theories about her work and art in general, about her domestic difficulties and personal problems, and, above all, with memories of her past. How truthful was she? How accurate were her listeners' and observers* accounts? Frankly it is hard to say. In the main, I am sure, most of the people I have interviewed have sought scrupulously to contribute only pertinent and honest material. For her own part, there can be no doubt that much of what she told people of herself was fanciful. But if her imaginings and untruths fail to throw a dependable light on biographical incidents, they do sharpen the sense of her personality, which was, after all, a more direct source of her art. I feel that whatever inaccuracies there may be in the fabric of her story today, there are bound to be a great many more as time goes on. Memories do not sharpen with time. Many of the people who knew her well are now dead. Is it not better, then, to capture what is left, imperfect though it may be, than to wait until Time has erased all? During the past forty years the importance of Suzanne Valadon's work has met with gradually increasing recogni- 15 tion. Savage and extremely personal, unconnected with any "school" of the past or present, her work was submerged for a long time beneath the surging tides which began with the birth of Impressionism. Today we realize that it stood alone as a statement of the independence of a creative intelligence, of uncompromising belief in draftsmanship in an era in which drawing was no longer considered overly important. It is primitive, strong, and frank, abounding in health and vigorous color; and it owes its power solely to the nervous energy and personality of a woman who came to grips with deeply tragic experiences of life. An insight into that life is important to an understanding of the work of one who is considered by many to be "France's greatest woman artist." Of more than a hundred people I have talked with I am deeply indebted especially to Mme. Georges Kars, Paul Petrides, Edmond Heuze, Mme. and Louis Chervin, Mme. Agnes Humbert, Jean Vertex, Henri Level, Demetrios Gal- anis, Andre Fillet, Georges Bernheim, Mme. Felice Colas, Mme. Yvonne Vigneron, Raymond Bordage, Gazi-LG., Georges Belize, Mme. Gustave Coquiot, and Robert Attilo, who, besides helping me gather anecdotal material, were at pains to have me understand Suzanne Valadon's personality. It is with their composite judgment that I have selected the substance of the book. In making decisions in respect to all interviews I have been guided less by the characters of the other witnesses than by the character of the remarkable sub- in ject they have limned for me. At times, as is inevitable the circumstances, I have written imaginatively of what must have occurred. For permission to reproduce the illustrations in the book and for access to the various collections of Suzanne Valadon's work, I am grateful to the Musee de PArt Moderne in Paris, the Ny Carlsberg Glyptothek in Copenhagen, the Arts Coun- cil and the Lefevre Gallery in London, the Archives Na- 16 tionales, the Art Institute of Chicago, Edmond Heuze, Paul Petrides, Andre Bernier, Gazi-I.G., Mme. Georges Kars, Mme. Yvonne Vigneron, and Mr. and Mrs. J. Garfunkel. And finally, I should like to express my debt to my wife, without whose support, criticism, and constant help the book could not have been written. J.S. I Mother and Daughter IT WAS NOT UNTIL SHE WAS AN OLD WOMAN THAT MADELEINE Valadon talked much about herself. It pleased her then to relate that as a young girl she had been married to a citizen of Limoges named Courlaud, by whom, as she put it, she had had "several children." When she was twenty-one, Courlaud died very suddenly in the city jail before charges against him had been entered on the books of the constabulary.

University of California Press: Berkeley, 2008. 334 pp. + illustrations. $49.95 (hb). ISBN 052-0243- 617. Review by John Finlay, Independent Scholar. Peter Read’s Picasso et Apollinaire: Métamorphoses de la memoire 1905/1973 was first published in France in 1995 and is now translated into English, revised, updated and developed incorporating the author’s most recent publications on both Picasso and Apollinaire. Picasso & Apollinaire: The Persistence of Memory also uses indispensable material drawn from pioneering studies on Picasso’s sculptures, sketchbooks and recent publications by eminent scholars such as Elizabeth Cowling, Anne Baldassari, Michael Fitzgerald, Christina Lichtenstern, William Rubin, John Richardson and Werner Spies as well as a number of other seminal texts for both art historian and student.[1] Although much of Apollinaire’s poetic and literary work has now been published in French it remains largely untranslated, and Read’s scholarly deciphering using the original texts is astonishing, daring and enlightening to the Picasso scholar and reader of the French language.[2] Divided into three parts and progressing chronologically through Picasso’s art and friendship with Apollinaire, the first section astutely analyses the early years from first encounters, Picasso’s portraits of Apollinaire, shared literary and artistic interests, the birth of Cubism, the poet’s writings on the artist, sketches, poems and “primitive art,” World War I, through to the final months before Apollinaire’s death from influenza on 9 November 1918.

[1] In reaction to the traditional establishment, constituted especially by the École des Beaux-Arts, the Paris Salon, and the styles and techniques they promulgated, Toulouse-Lautrec cultivated his own approach to painting, while also pioneering new methods in lithography and the art of the poster. He explored popular, even vulgar subject matter, while collaborating with vanguard artists, writers, and stars of Bohemian Paris. Despite his artistic innovations, he remains an enigmatic and somewhat liminal figure in the history of French modern art.

    impressionist adventures THE NORMANDY & PARIS REGION GUIDE 2020 IMPRESSIONIST ADVENTURES, INSPIRING MOMENTS! elcome to Normandy and Paris Region! It is in these regions and nowhere else that you can admire marvellous Impressionist paintings W while also enjoying the instantaneous emotions that inspired their artists. It was here that the art movement that revolutionised the history of art came into being and blossomed. Enamoured of nature and the advances in modern life, the Impressionists set up their easels in forests and gardens along the rivers Seine and Oise, on the Norman coasts, and in the heart of Paris’s districts where modernity was at its height. These settings and landscapes, which for the most part remain unspoilt, still bear the stamp of the greatest Impressionist artists, their precursors and their heirs: Daubigny, Boudin, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Morisot, Pissarro, Caillebotte, Sisley, Van Gogh, Luce and many others. Today these regions invite you on a series of Impressionist journeys on which to experience many joyous moments. Admire the changing sky and light as you gaze out to sea and recharge your batteries in the cool of a garden. Relive the artistic excitement of Paris and Montmartre and the authenticity of the period’s bohemian culture. Enjoy a certain Impressionist joie de vivre in company: a “déjeuner sur l’herbe” with family, or a glass of wine with friends on the banks of the Oise or at an open-air café on the Seine. Be moved by the beauty of the paintings that fill the museums and enter the private lives of the artists, exploring their gardens and homes-cum-studios.

[email protected] ANDRÉ DERAIN 1880 – 1954 FROM FAUVISM TO CLASSICISM January 24 – February 21, 2020 WHEN THE FAUVES... SOME MEMORIES BY ANDRÉ DERAIN At the end of July 1895, carrying a drawing prize and the first prize for natural science, I left Chaptal College with no regrets, leaving behind the reputation of a bad student, lazy and disorderly. Having been a brilliant pupil of the Fathers of the Holy Cross, I had never got used to lay education. The teachers, the caretakers, the students all left me with memories which remained more bitter than the worst moments of my military service. The son of Villiers de l’Isle-Adam was in my class. His mother, a very modest and retiring lady in black, waited for him at the end of the day. I had another friend in that sinister place, Linaret. We were the favourites of M. Milhaud, the drawing master, who considered each of us as good as the other. We used to mark our classmates’s drawings and stayed behind a few minutes in the drawing class to put away the casts and the easels. This brought us together in a stronger friendship than students normally enjoy at that sort of school. I left Chaptal and went into an establishment which, by hasty and rarely effective methods, prepared students for the great technical colleges. It was an odd class there, a lot of colonials and architects.

Cruz, B.A., M.A. Denton, Texas May, 1996 Y20 ANDRE MALRAUX: THE ANTICOLONIAL AND ANTIFASCIST YEARS DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Richard A. Cruz, B.A., M.A. Denton, Texas May, 1996 Cruz, Richard A., Andre Malraux: The Anticolonial and Antifascist Years. Doctor of Philosophy (History), May, 1996, 281 pp., 175 titles. This dissertation provides an explanation of how Andr6 Malraux, a man of great influence on twentieth century European culture, developed his political ideology, first as an anticolonial social reformer in the 1920s, then as an antifascist militant in the 1930s. Almost all of the previous studies of Malraux have focused on his literary life, and most of them are rife with errors. This dissertation focuses on the facts of his life, rather than on a fanciful recreation from his fiction. The major sources consulted are government documents, such as police reports and dispatches, the newspapers that Malraux founded with Paul Monin, other Indochinese and Parisian newspapers, and Malraux's speeches and interviews. Other sources include the memoirs of Clara Malraux, as well as other memoirs and reminiscences from people who knew Andre Malraux during the 1920s and the 1930s. The dissertation begins with a survey of Malraux's early years, followed by a detailed account of his experiences in Indochina.
