Although heavily criticized in Paris when first exhibited, Cubism oil paintings were very well received in New York in 1913 at the Armory Show, and then later in Boston and Chicago. Picasso's Les Desmoiselles d'Avignon painting was completed in 1907 and is a large oil painting which depicts five naked prostitutes.
