Pablo Picasso, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon
This disturbing depiction of prostitutes in a brothel in Avignon, Barcelona's red light district, proved to be one of the most notorious pictures of the 20th century and was a precursor of Cubism and Modern Art. Its collpase of perspective and combination of geometric and primitivist style were a reinvention of the posibilities of art. -

Henri Matisse, Dance
The painting shows five dancing figures, painted in a strong red, set against a very simplified green landscape and deep blue sky. It reflects Matisse's incipient fascination with primitive art, and uses a classic Fauvist color palette: the intense warm colors against the cool blue-green background and the rhythmical succession of dancing nudes convey the feelings of emotional liberation and hedonism. -
