My Son (1896) and Woman with a Double Bass (1908) complete the trio every eye recognises. Of the 83 works by Suzanne Valadon in our catalog, the gallery presents the 79 most famous below, each original with its year, its museum and what makes it unique.
Suzanne Valadon’s 1923 masterpiece presents a strikingly modern vision of the female nude, departing from traditional academic portrayals and offering a glimpse into the evolving role of women in post-World War I society. This boldly colored interior scene isn't simply a depiction of a reclining figure; it’s a statement about independence, introspection, and the complexities of contemporary life.
In this intimate study, Suzanne Valadon presents My Son, a work that captures a quiet, private moment from about 1896. The subject is a nude figure, a young man who rests in a relaxed pose. There is a profound sense of familiarity in the way the figure is rendered, suggesting that the model is indeed the artist's own son. This personal connection breathes a sense of vulnerability into the scene,…
The artwork titled Woman with a Double Bass was painted by the artist Suzanne Valadon. This oil on canvas work was created in 1908 in Paris, France. It is categorized as a genre painting, focusing on a scene from everyday life rather than a mythological or allegorical subject.
A cat sits with a heavy, human-like assurance upon the ground. It is a creature of stillness, its gaze fixed on something unseen just beyond the frame. Beside this silent observer, a vase holds a bouquet of flowers, their colors breathing life into the center of the composition. Two potted plants flank the scene, anchoring the edges of the frame and providing a sense of depth to this intimate corner…
Four figures occupy a tight, overlapping space, their bodies pressed together as if seeking warmth or perhaps shielding one another from an unseen weight. The air within the frame feels heavy, thick with a psychological tension that pulls the viewer into their shared orbit. An elderly woman gazes out with eyes that seem to carry the weariness of many years, her weathered skin catching the diffuse light. Beside her, a…
Female Nude, washing herself is a charcoal drawing by Suzanne Valadon. The artist was born in 1865 in Bessines-sur-Gartempe, France, and lived until 1938.
In this 1928 oil on canvas, a nude woman reclines upon a floral-patterned sofa. She is positioned with her body turned toward the viewer, her legs pulled up and crossed at the knees. This posture creates a natural fold in the abdomen, a physical detail rendered with directness. Her hands hold a hat, an object that introduces a sense of the everyday into the private setting. The light enters from…
This 1922 oil on canvas, titled View from My Window in Genets (Brittany), presents a post-impressionist depiction of a village scene. The composition is balanced, utilizing houses and trees as focal points that guide the viewer's eye into the landscape. Within the scene, several people are scattered throughout the environment; some figures are positioned near the houses, while others are located further away in the distance.
My Utrillo at the Age of Nine is a charcoal drawing by the artist Suzanne Valadon. Created about 1892, this work presents a portrait of a young boy. The subject is likely Maurice Utrillo at the age of nine. The figure is depicted in a state of repose, captured in a moment of intimacy and vulnerability.
The gaze meets us directly in Self-Portrait, a work that captures the presence of the artist, Suzanne Valadon. Painted about 1898, this oil on canvas offers a glimpse into the inner life of a woman who navigated the bohemian circles of France. The subject stares back with an intensity that feels immediate, as if the moment of creation is still unfolding before our eyes.
