MNAC brings its latest exhibition on the work of French painter Suzanne Valadon (1865-1938). An emblematic figure of bohemian society in Montmartre in the early 20th century, she was a painter, draughtswoman and printmaker, and worked in all the genres, from portraiture and the nude to still life and landscape art.
This exhibition will present more than 100 works: oils on canvas and cardboard, drawings and prints, sculptures in plaster and bronze, besides other documentary material that will allow us to get a retrospective and contextualised view of the career of a female artist who played an important part in Avant-garde Paris from 1910 to 1930.
This view is complemented with works by other contemporary French and Catalan artists. These give an idea of the richness of the art scene during the period, while at the same time the multiple interactions that took place in Avant-garde circles and the societal conquest by women of their status as artists are explained.
