- “Valadon, Utillo & Utter in the rue cortot studio:1912-12926”, Musee de Montmartre, October 2015-March 2016. Illustrated in the exhibition catalogue (p.74, cat.No.45).
The son of painter and model Suzanne Valadon and an unknown father, Maurice Utrillo was one of the few Montmartre artists to actually be born there, and grew up living between the Parisian neighbourhood and Montmagny, on the northern outskirts of the city. Sharing his mother’s studio at 12 rue Cortot, Utrillo sold his first painting in 1905, and had work shown in 1909’s Salon d’Automne.
For many years he battled alcoholism and mental illness, and his family encouraged his painting in part to help him deal with his daily struggles.
Utrillo is celebrated for his cityscapes, and his early paintings from 1904 onwards of Montmagny and Montmartre in particular helped establish his reputation. If a street or monument fascinated him, he could make numerous paintings of the same subject, and many of his paintings are noted for their energy and a deceptive naiveté of style.
In particular, Utrillo is famous for his “white period” which spanned the years 1909-1914, and where he used a thick white impasto which he applied to the canvas with a palette knife, and sometimes mixed in plaster. As his contemporary, art critic Edmond Jaloux was quick to note, “In point of fact, naiveté and ingeniousness are more apparent than real, however, for one has only to examine with care a canvas by Utrillo to see to what extent one is dealing with a true painter”, whose deep understanding of colour and his materials meant his work “imparts something magnificently luxurious to the dejected, desperate aspects of modern life" (quoted in A. Tabarant, Utrillo, Paris, 1926, p. 234).
Painted circa 1908-1910, La Butte Pinson à Montmagny is a good example of his urban landscapes, and is both typical of his admired early period, and points towards his esteemed white period, with the colour and texture of the building on the left side of the image.
Utrillo lived in the Butte Pinson from 1896 with his mother, her husband and Utrillo’s grandmother, after his stepfather built a house in the area, in an attempt to take Utrillo away from the bohemian life he was leading in Paris. Utrillo began painting here, and created a series of paintings of Montmagny from 1905 to 1908. While his mother was the first woman to be admitted into the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in 1894, Utrillo, like Valadon, had great talent but received little formal artistic training.
His confident yet soft brushstrokes demonstrate a lingering influence of Impressionism, and the colours of the fence and trees in the front of the image are echoed by some of the multi-coloured rooftops one can see in the distance.
