Maurice Utrillo - Moulin de la Galette, rue Lepic (c.1920)

 Maurice Utrillo's life couldn't be more liberal. A romantic concept, la vie bohème for many who lived such a life in late 19th and early 20th century Paris, the reality was much less glamorous. Born to a former circus acrobat turned model artist and eventually avant-garde artist, Suzanne Valadon (she was just 18 at the time) Utrillo never knew who her father was. . Rumor has it it could have been anyone from Puvis de Chavannes to Renoir to a young and little-known painter named Boissy. Utrillo's most frequent subject is the buildings of the Montmartre district in Paris, famous as a haven for the city's bohemians - artists, writers, poets, etc. Some of his favorite places like Lapin Agile, where he was able to meet more established artists like Picasso and Toulouse-Lautrec, exhibited multiple times with only slight variations from canvas to canvas.(Christie's, New York - Oil on board, 53.7 x 37.3 cm)
