Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Paperback. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
Language: French, (mostly images)
A landmark publication in the world of French art history, Maurice Utrillo, V. presents a comprehensive examination of one of Montmartre's most celebrated and enigmatic painters. Born in 1883 to the artist Suzanne Valadon, Utrillo chronicled the winding streets, crumbling walls, and atmospheric corners of Parisian life with a raw, melancholic beauty that set him apart from his contemporaries. His works — particularly his iconic depictions of the Rue du Mont-Cenis and the Sacré-Cœur — illustrate a deeply personal vision of urban solitude, rendered in muted whites and earthy tones that became his signature. This volume details the full arc of Utrillo's life and creative output, from his turbulent early years marked by alcoholism and institutionalisation to his eventual recognition as a master of the École de Paris. Authoritative and richly illustrated, it stands as an essential reference for collectors, art historians, and admirers of early twentieth-century French painting.
