He was already painting the typical landscapes of the Butte: Lapin à Gill, Moulin de la Galette, Maison de Mimi Pinson before Utrillo also took them as themes.
After the First World War, his views of Paris brought him rapid success, which his sensitivity to them retained.
Around 1920, a wealthy art lover gave him the means to spend a long time in the South of France, from which he brought back landscapes whose wonder at the Mediterranean nature they conveyed sometimes evoked the name of Matisse.
