| Description |
| Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, painted in 1907 by Pablo Picasso. "With Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, the Spanish painter Pablo Picasso offends the Paris art scene in 1907. Showing his eight-foot-square canvas to a group of painters, patrons, and art critics at his studio, Picasso meets with almost unanimous shock, distaste, and outrage. The painter Matisse is angered by the work, which he considers a hoax, an attempt to paint the fourth dimension." The masterpiece is currently held at New York's Museum of Modern Art.
