Suzanne Valadon: The Mistress of Montmartre
An illegitimate daughter of a poor country woman, Suzanne Valadon first earned a living as a circus acrobat. Mingling with Impressionists in the clubs and cabarets of Montmartre, she caused a stir with her provocative stunts. When she was 18 years old, Valadon gave birth to an illegitimate son, the future artist Maurice Utrillo. Posing regularly for Renoir, she became his lover, as well as that of others, including Erik Satie and Toulouse-Lautrec.
