Maurice Utrillo, (born December 26, 1883,Paris, France—died November 5, 1955, Le Vésinet), French painter who was noted for his depictions of the houses and streets of the Montmartre district of Paris.

Born out of wedlock, Utrillo was the son of the model and artistSuzanne Valadon. His father was not known, and he was given his name by a Spanish art critic, Miguel Utrillo. He had no instruction as an artist apart from that given by his mother, who herself was untutored. When, as an adolescent, he became an alcoholic, his mother encouraged him to take uppaintingas therapy. Despite his frequent relapses intoalcoholism, painting became Utrillo’sobsession.
