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

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]].
