by Pablo Picasso, 1907
Pablo Picasso completed this Les Demoiselles d'Avignon in 1907, shattering centuries of artistic convention. Five nude women stare confrontationally at the viewer. Their bodies are fractured into angular planes. Two figures on the right wear mask-like faces inspired by African sculpture.
The painting shocked even Picasso's closest friends. Matisse thought it was a hoax. Braque said it made him feel like he'd been drinking gasoline. Picasso kept it rolled up in his studio for years. It wasn't publicly exhibited until 1916. Today it's considered the proto-Cubist work that launched modern art. The title refers to a brothel on Carrer d'Avinyó in Barcelona. It hangs in MoMA.
