Paris

The Centre Pompidou in Paris is dedicating a monograph to Suzanne Valadon (1865-1938), an emblematic and daring artist, recognized as one of the most important of her generation. T his exhibition, which runs from January 15 to May 26, 2025, highlights Valadon’s unique journey, from her beginnings as a favorite model of all of Montmartre to her artistic recognition by her peers and critics. Valadon, who ardently defended the need to paint reality, places the nude, both female and male, at the center of her work, representing bodies without artifice or voyeurism.
