Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, of the Young Ladies of Avignon, is a large painting from 1907 by the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. The work depicts five nude female prostitutes from a brothel in Barcelona. Each figure is in a controtatioal manner and none of them are exceptionally feminine. Two have African mask faces, giving them a savage feel. This is a good example of Picasso's radical departure from traditional European paiting.
