Suzanne Valadon
“seized what she wanted from art and life, and tore it free with both hands
making it irrevocable her own”, and Casting of the Net is a prime example of
just that. Valadon was one of the only women at the time to paint female and
male nudes and probably the only woman to be using her lover, who was 21 years
younger and her son’s best friend, as a model. What Valadon “tore free with both
hands” in this painting is the clothes of these men.
