Some 200 works, including drawings and paintings—the artist's preferred mediums—are presented across five thematic sections to trace the unique career path of Suzanne Valadon (1865-1938), from her early days as a sought-after model in Montmartre to her swift recognition as an artist by her peers and critics. Bold and overtly modern, standing apart from the dominant movements of her time, Valadon chose to paint reality and depict bodies without artifice or voyeurism. She was the first woman to paint a large-scale frontal male nude.
