Suzanne Valadon grew up in poverty in Montmartre. At the age of just 15 she became part of the district\u2019s famous bohemian community when she began modelling for great painters like Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. For Valadon, this was not just a way to earn a living \u2013 she had her own artistic ambitions. While celebrated artists were producing portraits and nudes of the beautiful young woman, she secretly began painting for herself. Her outstanding talent was soon discovered by Edgar Degas, who presented her work to art dealers and helped her exhibit her works. In 1894 Valadon became the first woman painter to be admitted to the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Nationale des Beaux-Arts, and in 1915 she held her first solo exhibition in the gallery of renowned Parisian art dealer Berthe Weill.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
