The story of Nude on a Blue Cushion
Nude on a Blue Cushion was completed in 1917 and is on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It is one of a series of nudes Modigliani painted from 1916 to 1919, commissioned by the art dealer Leopold Zborowski. When the nudes were shown in Paris, the police reportedly shut the exhibition down on its opening day for obscenity.

Amedeo Modigliani
Amedeo Clemente Modigliani was an Italian painter and sculptor of the École de Paris who worked mainly in France. He is known for portraits and nudes in a modern style characterised by a surreal elongation of faces, necks, and figures — works that were not received well during his lifetime, but later became much sought after. Modigliani was born and spent his youth in Italy, where he studied the art of antiquity and the Renaissance. In 1906, he moved to Paris, where he came into contact with such artists as Pablo Picasso and Constantin Brâncuși. By 1912, Modigliani was exhibiting highly stylised sculptures with Cubists of the Section d'Or group at the Salon d'Automne.
