The French artist Maurice Utrillo very early displayed a tormented personality which led him to frequent cabarets and brothels. Painting, therefore, becomes an outlet for his mental disorders. In the 1910s, after his beginnings influenced by Impressionism, Maurice Utrillo quickly established himself as the reference artist of the School of Paris, favoring a refined representation of the streets of Paris and especially Montmartre, in which he spent the most. much of his life, in the surreal effervescence of the moment.
