Suzanne Valadon - Model for the Great Artists who discovered her own Genius - Fickle Fate Series

#artists #Paris #history
As a child living in the country, Suzanne Valadon had no idea just how the Fates would guide her life in such a fortunate way.
Without a husband to be the breadwinner, Suzanne’s mother moved to Paris to try and make ends meet, and do her best to keep a roof over their heads.
While her mother took in ironing, Suzanne found there was a demand for models to pose for the artists in Montmartre. She quickly became a favourite because of her poise and professionalism.
Having taking up drawing as a child, this was a perfect opportunity for her to study the artists techniques, and her own immense talent was nurtured.
Although her professional life was overshadowed by the huge success of her son Maurice Utrillo; Her paintings are now being discovered by a new generation - her unique style and natural draughtsmanship finally being recognised and given the status it truly deserves.

This video was uploaded to Patreon 2 years ago - all my new content gets posted there first, so I don't have to bow to the YT censors. My patrons support my work so I can continue. But the older videos like this one, eventually come here. I've been on KZbin since 2008 (and made this channel in 2010) ...longer guaranteed than the people from Google who are pressing the buttons at the moment; and the reasons for pushing those buttons are getting even weirder - now even if the word 'suicide' is mentioned, a video will be hunted out by the dreaded AI worm and gobbled up. In 2018 I published a video with the title: The Beautiful Haunting of the Empire State Building - Evelyn McHale - Narrated Version This was a remake of the silent version I made in 2016. This video was removed by KZbin in the last few days. The theme of suicide was not sensationalised, nor was it promoted or glorified. In fact, my end message was reaching out to people to talk about my own experiences, and pleading with young people talk to someone and seek help when feeling suicidal, rather than make any drastic decisions. This video helped many people, I know this from the comments I received, plus people left the numbers of support in their countries/states - they've also contacted me on other social media over the years to let me know that they are glad that they listened to my advice. Empathy and comprehension is needed when evaluating content. Guidelines are exactly that, only a guide, human understanding and context is needed. This unnecessary and heavy handed censorship has to stop. Banning certain words or themes, doesn't stop people having thoughts/emotions about those very words and themes. Swaddling people in cotton wool on the internet, does nothing to prepare them for the cold, harsh reality of the real world. This pernicious invasion of our freedom of expression, is incrementally eroding creativity - and does not bode well for our future. Oddie Beau

Oddie, very well said. UTUBE has to stop censoring words! I don’t care to see graphic bloody accident or murder! But I am intelligent enough to read and understand words. If I don’t know a word I’ll look it up. Well taught by mom! We had numerous encyclopedias as well- also to look up different locations etc.. I’m 65 years old so I should be able to read what I choose. Thanks for the comments and the funny cat! He looks so Regal in his beautiful crown!

[@JudyAllison-Richards]

@@ObsoleteOddity I SO agree with you Oddie!

[@ANYHOO0]

@@ObsoleteOddity the fact that KZbin Kids exists but they force the rest of KZbin to be toddler-friendly is ridiculous. I can see why some videos would be age restricted, but not historical ones like yours that don't show anything graphic. I'm a Patreon member but I would much prefer if you could just be on KZbin because I often just forget to go over there!

We are living in really crazy times, like some surreal puritanical but at the same time obscene world that we find ourselves in now.

The artist took the money for the project and returned a blank canvas.

Another fabulous session with Oddie. I remember the story about the artist who "took the money and ran". We'd call that guy a "wiseass" in these parts. But he still might get gallery space at the Rhode Island School of Design. Imagine the catalogue! Very low cost production. Cheers.

My grandmother used to be a.docent at an art museum. So I was very fortunate to be able to see many pieces.of art from the period. I would love to see.some.of Suzanne valadon's work. One thing I always though was funny about modern art work is that the story of the piece seemed more what was being paid for danger than the art itself. Once there was a pile of trash and there was this really long story about how it represented the decay of societies morals. I have to say these artists.must be really charismatic to get museums to buy theses pieces. I wonder if the man giving the blank canvases is hoping his charisma will.allow him to.keep the money.

I hope so, anyway. I recently saw a funny post with the question being "what have you learned in your older years." The person answered he has come to understand why the Grinch wanted to live alone with his dog. As I'm in my older years I understood completely! 😅 I need my friends and family if course, but being alone doesn't always mean "lonely." Take good care. ❤

He took a lot of influence from other painters from the 1890’s and gave them a surreal twist.

Especially videos that are of benefit and help people who are in a dark place - this really makes you realise the lunacy that is descending upon us. How many more words will be made taboo and cancelled? Our kitty Granduchessa Bonchenelli is still terrorising us at the grand age of 18! She demands the finest of foods, and every hour of the day attention heaped upon her 😄 Have a great start to the week my friend and hopefully the removal man finally take your furniture to the new apartment!

@@ObsoleteOddity You're welcome kind sir, I'll ALWAYS be in your corner & try to promote your work & channel. 18 years old, WOW, that shows the love & care you both give her & and sweet doggie who lived a long happy life. Animal's sure do enrich our lives, true gifts from God. Their 'demands' -- love, kindness & attention -- About your work... You give love, kindness & attention to the underdogs... You're careing & standing for the under dog like the nice lady artist & the way she had to do things dout she would have done to get her work seen. It's a shame she couldn't have gone to an art school to learn more things & maybe met folks that could have gotten her work to the attention of gallery's that could have shown her work to many more people without having to 'sleep around' - casting couch 'stuff'. I know this isn't a political channel but maybe if all the governments of the world could put aside their difference's and realize that if there's a WW3 -- there won't be a WW4-- with nukes ect. IF people would spend work as hard on positive things instead of negative stuff how more advanced the world would be say in the medical fields, take away the stigma of reaching out for mental health CARE-- maybe they'd be way less suicides & such -- they'd be way better health care ect. As far as the furniture -- this Tuesday I'm going to ask for help at the next Vet dinner meeting if I can get some guys to help. The apt management is barely there -- how they keep their jobs is beyond me. You go to the 'top', file complaints & they're just put in a cabinet & not addressed. That's why I'm working so hard to finish 2 books & have to quit stalling & DO the coin thing, then just move. It would have been nice to be able to help everyone in the apt. building to improve things -- but no one will stand together to get things done... that's just a sad fact. Getting back to animals -- I'm really thinking about getting a 🐕 dog now that I'll have a way better fixed up apartment. Think I should?

@RuthShelton-ou4id that’s so kind of you Ruth, I think you mentioned the other day, but I’ve had so many comments since then because of posting this video - about whether you should make a new Patreon account, well if you definitely cannot get into the old one, following the instructions that I left you previously, then that might be the best bet. Yes, our kitty is 18 years old and, although she’s slower she’s still very naughty! I can’t believe that your apartment manager gets her regular paycheck, but is never there? That is total madness and really needs to be looked into. Did you find out who your local ombudsman is? Reach out to them and tell them what’s going on. Oh that’s fantastic that they at least allow pets in the HUD. A little dog would be fantastic company for you!

@@ObsoleteOddity Since getting a new apt I'm just going to chill out & work to find a way to move. Have tried in the he past to complain & they just file the complaints in a file cabinet. I'll wait till I get a new phone then re-try your suggestions -- that should work -- if not-- then stop payment & re-up. I'd like to get a German shepherd puppy. When having a working phone can call a taxi to bring the dog to proper Vet place -- for shots & regular normal Vet care. Would you know a good German name I could call him? Way back in CA days I'd get to walk a fellow apt friends big German shepherd who understood both German & English. He'd bring you his leash -- He's the one that found the poor lady that was buried in a kid's school yard. We were passing through the yard when he refused to leave & started digging -- and green fingers appeared! The police took over from there, they kept stuff hushed up pretty much. Any way -- the dog & we'd get out of the funny farm-- (apt😉) for a bit and I'll spend a lot of time on play & training. You pay $100. 'pet fee"-- which when you move out & no pet 'damage' then you're so posed to get that $ back along with the deposit $ -- of course they make a person wait 3 months to get it. What they don't tell folks is that if the deposit $ comes past 3 months -- they then owe you 3 times as much.

@@ObsoleteOddity I think your sweet Kitty 😸 just loves you both very much and at 18 -- and of course misses her buddy doggie friend she just wants extra huggies & to know you're both around. I still picture her sitting in her chair by the window --😸 liking to be where the action is (Making of video's) & being 'the boss'.😉

Interesting that we call the Adam and Eve painting as "nudes" and yet it's only Eve who is nude.🤔 I sure get the anxiety and missing his Moms service. I have some issues like that. I missed my oldest bros private picnic and placing of the ashes, tho I was at the church. And my sisinlaws service at the church. My baby bros wife of almost 30yrs. I still feel horrible about that. Idk why I can't get past those feelings when they come...or why I have them. This was very interesting and gratifying that she DID get noticed and also her ill son. Thank you Oddie. I saw another movie with TONS of vintage cars, but I can't remember the damn name! I may have put it somewhere so maybe I'll find it. It was an awesome array of autos! I hope you and Oddette are good🙏🏼🌹🫶🏼🖼️🎨🖌️

Thank you so much, Laura, very glad you enjoyed the presentation. Funerals are a very distressing and traumatic event, it’s fully understandable that not everybody feels that they can participate.

Also the le chat noir is french for the black cat. I am currently learning french
