Blue Nude by Henri Matisse

Blue Nude by Henri Matisse

While working on this sculpture, Matisse accidentally destroyed the workpiece, and its fragments inspired the master to create the most controversial work in his career.

First presented at the Salon of the Independent, the Blue Nude sculpture shook the French public, and later made a splash in other countries. This work inspired Pablo Picasso to create equally controversial Avignon girls.
