Renoir's Dancer: The Secret Life of Suzanne Valadon
Autor Catherine Hewitten Limba Engleză Hardback – noi 2017
Born
in
poverty
in
rural
France,
as
a
teenager
in
Montmartre,
Suzanne
began
posing
for
–
and
having
affairs
with
–
some
of
the
age’s
most
renowned
painters.
Then
Renoir
caught
her
indulging
in
a
passion
she
had
been
trying
to
conceal:
the
model
was
herself
a
talented
artist.
Some
found
her
vibrant
still
lifes
and
frank
portraits
as
shocking
as
her
bohemian
lifestyle.
At
eighteen,
she
gave
birth
to
an
illegitimate
child,
future
painter
Maurice
Utrillo.
But
her
friends
Toulouse-Lautrec
and
Degas
could
see
her
skill.
Rebellious
and
opinionated,
she
refused
to
be
confined
by
tradition
or
gender,
and
in
1894,
her
work
was
accepted
to
the
Salon
de
la
Société
Nationale
des
Beaux-Arts,
an
extraordinary
achievement
for
a
working-class
woman
with
no
formal
art
training.
Renoir’s
Dancertells
the
remarkable
tale
of
an
ambitious,
headstrong
woman
fighting
to
find
a
professional
voice
in
a
male-dominated
world.
