Nude on a Blue Cushion is an oil painting by Amedeo Modigliani, completed in 1917. It is currently on display at the National Gallery of Art. [1] The painting depicts a nude woman relaxing on her side on a blue cushion. It is one of a series of nudes he painted from 1916-1919 commissioned by art dealer Leopold Zborowski. When the collection was displayed in Paris, the police reportedly shut it down on its opening day for its obscenity. [2]
