Line 38: Valadon, who became a model after a fall from a [[trapeze]] ended her chosen career as a circus [[acrobatics\|acrobat]],{{sfn \|Warnod \|1981 \|p=13}} found that posing for [[Berthe Morisot]], Renoir, [[Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec]], and others provided her with an opportunity to study their techniques. She taught herself to paint, and when Toulouse-Lautrec introduced her to [[Edgar Degas]], he became her mentor. Eventually, she became a peer of the artists she had posed for. Meanwhile, her mother was left to raise the young Maurice, who soon showed a troubling inclination toward [[truancy]] and [[alcoholism]].{{sfn \|Warnod \|1981 \|pp=57–59}} When ~~a mental illness~~[[schizophrenia]] took hold of the 21-year-old Utrillo in 1904, his mother encouraged him to take up painting. He soon showed real artistic talent. With no training beyond what his mother taught him, he drew and painted what he saw in Montmartre. After 1910 his work attracted critical attention, and by 1920 he was internationally acclaimed. In 1928, the French government awarded him the Cross of the [[Légion d'honneur]].{{sfn \|Warnod \|1981 \|p=85}} Throughout his life, however, he was interned in mental asylums repeatedly. Today, tourists to the area will find many of his paintings on postcards, one of which is his very popular 1936 painting entitled ''Montmartre Street Corner'' or ''[[Lapin Agile]]''.
