Utrillo's La Maison Bernot
At Musée de l’Orangerie, when you’ve had enough of Monet’s sprawling water lilies, make sure you pop downstairs and see Maurice Utrillo’s work. Utrillo was a Montmartre-born painter who specialized in cityscapes. In 1904 at the age of 21, Utrillo began drawing and painting what he saw in Paris’ streets. By 1910, his work attracted attention and by 1920, he was critically acclaimed. Sadly, like many geniuses, Utrillo struggled with mental health issues and was in and out of asylums for his entire life.
