Maurice Utrillo at Auction

 
Maurice Utrillo was born in Montmartre, the son of French artist Suzanne Valadon. He became an alcoholic at an early age, and in 1900 was first admitted to a sanatorium for treatment. Encouraged by his mother, and as a distraction from his craving for alcohol, he began to draw and paint scenes of cafés, churches and deserted squares around his home. Initially influenced by Impressionism, he developed a personal style when depicting the streets of Montmartre, of using light colours and thickly applied, impasto paint which proved popular and helped create the area's romantic, artistic image.
