Literature: Paul Pétridès: L?uvre complet de Maurice Utrillo, Paris 1966, vol. II, p. 528, no. 1254 (with ill.). Active throughout his life on the famous hill of Montmartre, Maurice Utrillo depicted the Sacré-C?ur Basilica behind the towering buildings of a narrow alley in the present work. The artist often worked repetitively on the same motifs. This seriality, sometimes using postcards as models, is both a reflection of the necessity of the creative process in the life of an artist, as well as a means of creating new icons of modernity. The artist skilfully employed an extensive yet muted palette to create an expressive mood. The setting and the artwork coalesce into an unusual harmony. Utrillo was able to capture contemporary Paris in dazzling and melancholic urban landscapes like no other artist. As a description of the world in which he lived, his works, which are close to**art, are by no means to be interpreted merely as descriptions of his condition, but reveal a particularly reflective attitude to the renewal of the tradition of the veduta Utrillo arguably influenced this genre more than any other artist of his generation.

Literatur: Paul Pétridès: L?uvre complet de Maurice Utrillo, Paris 1966, Bd. II, S. 528, Nr. 1254 (mit Abb.). Zeit seines Lebens am berühmten Hügel Montmartre t?tig, stellt Maurice Utrillo im vorliegenden Werk**Basilika Sacré-C?ur hinter hochrankenden Geb?uden einer engen Gasse dar. Der Künstler arbeitet oft repetitiv an den gleichen Motiven. Diese Serialit?t, wobei ihm Postkarten zuweilen als Vorlage dienen, reflektiert einerseits den Kunstschaffensprozess als eine Notwendigkeit künstlerischen Lebens und erschafft gleichermassen neue Ikonen der Moderne.**breite und dennoch ruhige Farbpalette setzt der Künstler gekonnt für**Schaffung einer expressiven Stimmung ein. Der Ort und das Werk verschmelzen zu einer ungewohnten Harmonie. Utrillo schafft es wie kein zweiter Künstler, das zeitgen?ssische Paris in schillernden und melancholischen Stadtansichten einzufangen. Als eine Beschreibung seiner Lebenswelt zu verstehende ?usserung sind seine Werke in der N?he der naiven Kunst keinesfalls nur als Beschreibungen seiner Erkrankung zu deuten, sondern lassen eine besonders reflektierte Haltung zu Tradition und Erneuerung der Vedute erkennen kaum jemand soll sie so nachhaltig gepr?gt haben wie Utrillo.
