Imens i livet hos Suzanne Valadon

Hele livet

early 1890s
Friendship with Edgar Degas
In the early 1890s Valadon befriended Edgar Degas, who found her drawings bold and her paintings fine: he bought her work and encouraged her, and remained one of her closest friends until his death in 1917.
1890s
Degas: her first buyer, collectors and etching
Degas was the first person to buy drawings from her, introduced her to other collectors, including Paul Durand-Ruel and Ambroise Vollard, and taught her the skill of soft-ground etching.
1893
The affair with Erik Satie
In 1893 Valadon had a short-lived affair with the composer Erik Satie: she moved into a room next to his on the Rue Cortot, and Satie, obsessed with her, called her his “Biqui” and wrote impassioned notes admiring her eyes, hands and tiny feet. After six months she left him devastated.
