Blue Nude (Souvenir de Biskra)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blue Nude (Souvenir de Biskra) ("Nu bleu: Souvenir de Biskra") is a 1907 oil painting by Henri Matisse. It is located at the Baltimore Museum of Art as part of the Cone Collection.

Matisse painted the nude when a sculpture he was working on shattered. He later finished the sculpture which is entitled Reclining Nude I (Aurore).

The painting, which may be classified as Fauvist, was quite controversial; it was burned in effigy at the Armory Show in Chicago in 1913.
