Maurice Utrillo (), born Maurice Valadon ( 26 December 1883 – 5 November 1955 ), was a French painter who specialized in cityscapes.

Utrillo was the son of the artist Suzanne Valadon ( born Marie-Clémentine Valadon ), who was then an eighteen-year-old artist's model.

In Montmartre, he had an affair with one of his models, Suzanne Valadon, who would become one of the leading artists of the day as well as the mother, teacher, and mentor of Maurice Utrillo.

In 1894, Valadon became the first woman painter admitted to the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts.

The daughter of an unmarried laundress, Suzanne Valadon became a circus acrobat at the age of fifteen, but a year later, a fall from a trapeze ended that career.

Artists ' associations such as Les Nabis and the Incoherents were formed and individuals including Vincent van Gogh, Pierre Brissaud, Alfred Jarry, Gen Paul, Jacques Villon, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Henri Matisse, André Derain, Suzanne Valadon, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Edgar Degas, Maurice Utrillo, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Théophile Steinlen, and African-American expatriates such as Langston Hughes worked in Montmartre and drew some of their inspiration from the area.

The most recognizable image of Valadon would be in Renoir's Dance at Bougival from 1883 ( see Gallery ), the same year that she posed for City Dance.

' At a cafe, Valadon saw an artist she knew named Miguel Utrillo, to whom she spilled her woes.

Another of his portraits of her in 1885, Suzanne Valadon, is of her head and shoulders in profile.

Valadon frequented the bars and taverns of Paris along with her fellow painters, and Toulouse-Lautrec painted her as the subject of The Hangover.

Both an asteroid ( 6937 Valadon ) and a crater on Venus are named in her honor.

" After Maurice was born to Suzanne Valadon, she went to Renoir, for whom she had modeled nine months previously.

Valadon painted still lifes, portraits, flowers, and landscapes that are noted for their strong composition and vibrant colors.
