Used Book – The Time of Intoxication, Volume 2. Suzanne Valadon, Michel Peyramaure

In 1900, at the dawn of the new century, Suzanne Valadon was thirty-five years old. Her wild youth was behind her. Thanks to her masters and lovers - Renoir, Lautrec, Degas - the former Butte street urchin who drew on sidewalks was already a celebrated artist. She married, moved to the suburbs. But could she live and work far from Montmartre and the "Bateau-Lavoir" where, around Picasso, extravagance and genius competed? That was her real life. But she was also close to Maurice, her adolescent son whose drunkenness and talent posterity would remember under the name Utrillo. The coming years would spare Suzanne neither new storms nor new passions. Around this young woman, in the freest society of the time, Michel Peyramaure brings an entire era back to life: the legendary time of the Impressionists, the time of the "painters of happiness."
