In Honor of Women's History Month

This month I would like to focus on Women Artists. This is a group that has been overshadowed for way too long.



Suzanne Valadon (23 September 1865 – 7 April 1938) Modeled for Renior and Lautrec. She was a skilful artist and mother to Maurice Utrillo (painter). Valadon painted still life, portraits, floral art, and landscapes that are noted for their strong composition and vibrant colors. She was, however, best known for her candid female nudes. A perfectionist, she worked on some of her oil paintings for up to 13 years before showing them. She also worked in pastel. Her first exhibitions, held in the early 1890s, consisted mostly of portraits.
