Les Demoiselles d’Avignon ,was painted in 1907 and can be considered the first Cubist painting. A year later, Cubism would develop into a legendary movement under the guide of Picasso and Georges Braque.
Picasso had always referred to it as Le Bordel d'Avignon, but art critic Andre Salmon, who managed its first exhibition, renamed it Les Demoiselles d'Avignon to reduce its outrageous effect on general society. Picasso never liked Salmon's title, and as a compromise would have preferred “Las chicas de Avignon” instead.
The work, part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, portrays five nude female prostitutes in a brothel on Carrer d'Avinyó, a street in Barcelona, Spain.
