On the fringes of the dominant trends of her time, Suzanne Valadon (1865 - 1938) placed the nude, both female and male, at the center of her work, representing bodies without artifice or voyeurism. The exhibition highlights this exceptional figure and underlines her pioneering role, often underestimated, in the birth of artistic modernity. The exhibition presents nearly 200 works from major international museums such as the Musée d'Orsay, the Orangerie, the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Fondation de l’Hermitage, as well as from important private collections.
