1895
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1895 ink by Suzanne Valadon, a Impressionism work, depicting Bathing, held at Museum of Modern Art.
A woman sits on the floor, her back to us, combing her thick dark hair. The lines are rough and quick, like the artist drew it in one sitting. Valadon was one of the first women to make a living from art in Paris. She didn’t train in schools—she learned by watching others, including her son, Maurice Utrillo. This etching feels personal, like a private moment caught on paper. If you like the loose, direct style, look up the technique: etching.
Marie-Clémentine "Suzanne" Valadon (French pronunciation: ; 23 September 1865 – 7 April 1938) was a French painter who was born at Bessines-sur-Gartempe, Haute-Vienne, France.
