Valadon absolutely handles to blend some rather acidic colours. But that’s not really the full Valadon effect, which is truly instead one of weird postures, clashing fabrics, the a little outrageous. We ‘d not seen a great deal of Suzanne Valadon in the past– there’s not a single painting by her in a British public collection– and so while we found this thorough program fascinating and useful, we thought it could have done with a little wise modifying; we flagged a bit in the direction of the end, really feeling that as well many of the pictures and the nudes on the walls were repeatings on the exact same theme.
