Utrillo and Atget


Maurice Utrillo, born Maurice Valadon, (26 December 1883 - 5 November 1955) was a French painter who specialized in cityscapes. Born in the Montmartre quarter of Paris, France, Utrillo is one of the few famous painters of Montmartre who were born there.
There was collaboration between him and famous French photographer Eugène Atget (February 12, 1857 – August 4, 1927) noted for his photographs documenting the architecture and street scenes of Paris

Utrillo used sometimes Atget’s photos as an idea and samples to make his paintings.

GANZ PARIS IST EIN THEATER.
