'''Maurice Utrillo''' ({{IPA-fr|mɔʁis ytʁijo, moʁ-|lang}}), born '''Maurice Valadon'''; 26 December 1883 – 5 November 1955), was a French painter of the [[School of Paris]] who specialized in [[cityscape]]s.
==Biography==
[[File:
Utrillo was the son of the artist [[Suzanne Valadon]] (born Marie-Clémentine Valadon), who was then an eighteen-year-old artist's model. She never revealed
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

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]]''.

In middle age Utrillo became fervently religious and in 1935, at the age of fifty-two, he married [[:fr:Lucie Valore|Lucie Valore]] and moved to [[Le Vésinet]], just outside Paris. By that time, he was too ill to work in the open air and painted landscapes viewed from windows, from postcards, and from memory.
Although his life also was plagued by alcoholism, he lived into his seventies. Maurice Utrillo died on 5 November 1955 in Hotel Splendid in [[Dax, Landes|Dax]], at age 72,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d&d=DS19551105-02.2.17|title=Desert Sun 5 November 1955 Edition 02 — California Digital Newspaper Collection|website=cdnc.ucr.edu|access-date=23 August 2018}}</ref> of a lung disease, and was buried in the [[Cimetière Saint-Vincent]] in [[Montmartre]].
