In 1918, critics dismissed this piece as cheap provocation.
Why was an artist who had portrayed 3 US presidents suddenly painting raw nudes on furs?
They were wrong. Zorn wasn’t chasing scandal.
Today, history vindicates him. What 1918 reviewers wrote off as a commercial move is now the crown jewel of Scandinavian art, with his studio nudes regularly topping 20 million Swedish kronor at auction.
