As an introduction to the Barnes Foundation’s fall exhibition Suzanne Valadon: Model, Painter, Rebel, chief curator Nancy Ireson offers a live lecture on Valadon’s groundbreaking work and impact as a self-taught artist who challenged the societal norms of early 20th-century Paris.
A rebel in both lifestyle and art-making, Valadon was a successful painter of her day who created unapologetic portraits and bold nudes.
The Barnes’ exhibition is the first major institutional show of Valadon’s work in the US.
