Artists

Marice Utrillo
Maurice Utrillo, painter of poetic, sentimental portrayals of the city of Paris, is much loved in Japan. Starved of love from his mother Suzanne Valadon, he spent a lonely and alcohol-ridden youth. He started painting in order to liberate himself from pain and despair and continued to produce unique paintings of the melancholy tranquility of Paris. Works displayed in this exhibition include those from his early "white period" that lasted from about 1909 to 1914 to his later works (including 30 works previously not publicized in Japan). Utrillo's palette, brushes, and photographs will be among the other materials on display to commemorate and look back on his life and art.
