Guided tours of the exhibition "Suzanne Valadon (1865-1938)"

In Paris, the last monographic exhibition dedicated to the French artist Suzanne Valadon dates back to 1967 , almost 30 years after her death. To recall the importance of Suzanne Valadon's artistic vision and her contribution to modernity, the Centre Pompidou-Metz designed the exhibition "Suzanne Valadon. A World of One's Own" in 2023 , which will stop in Paris in 2025 , with new loans and unpublished archives , after having been shown at the Musée d'arts de Nantes and the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in Barcelona in 2024 .

In this way, the exhibition provides an exceptional opportunity, shortly before the museum closes its doors for 5 years, to this free, independent artist, who produced a body of work in parallel with the avant-gardes of the 20th century . Enriched by nearly 200 works , most of which come from Beaubourg (the most important collection), but also from the Orsay and Orangerie museums , not to mention loans from national institutions ( MET in New York, Fondation de l'Hermitage) and private collections , the graphic work of the artist is truly in the spotlight.

Visiting this exhibition is thus discovering the artist's life journey, from his beginnings as a model for the Montmartre crowd to his artistic recognition, all placed in the context of the time (cafés, cabarets, recognition by critics).
