Utrillo Valadon and Exhibition at the Pinakothek

The Pinacoteca of Paris, whose Director Mr. Restellini has made a specialty of exhibiting the works of artists presented by him as cursed artists, forgotten by critics and official pariahs Museum of state, found in the couple Utrillo Valadon ideal subject.

Suzanne Valadon (1865 - 1938) is a young girl abandoned by her parents, model Renoir, Toulouse Lautrec, Degas and painter in his turn. His son Maurice Utrillo also abandoned by his mother is a painter's great. The artistic biography of the two characters is a driven cross, as his inspiration when he loses steam as his mother's hatches. It is when Utrillo, child genius, dark in alcohol, that his mother was his first agent acquires full control of his peinture.Lui painted deserts urban landscapes, she painted domestic interiors and portraits, still lifes. As if their paint both illustrated their inability to really meet each other.

cartels exposure swarm of biographical details or aesthetic bone resituent two friends in the great destiny of world painting. Maurice Utrillo, painting views of Paris on the basis of Postcards, is a precursor of Pop Art, Suzanne Valadon was the first artist truly "feminist", painting subjects formerly reserved for men. Entitled "Utrillo Valadon, at the turn of the century Montmartre", the exhibition also recounts a watershed in the history of painting, when Impressionism and artists in bourgeois rebellion ocntre their middle school was born in Paris, cursed with its artists, penniless, from the academic popular. Although exercise may turn to the learned dissertation and eventually be intellectually interesting rather than visually strong, this exposure is challenging the strength of comparisons made and built relationships.

Perhaps all of the exhibitions held since the opening of the gallery, where the taste of storytelling and biographical material is pushed to such an extent that it sometimes obscures the contact works. But the masterpieces of Valadon (especially the naked hats) and the coherence of the work of Utrillo amply justify it out, waiting for the century Gold Dutch painting, where you can not that again forgotten painters to be rehabilitated.
