To give you perspective of what Les Demoiselles d’Avignon Video (DVD) is all about, let us go back to history. In 1907, the women in Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon, intimidating at those times, were a sharp contrast to all previous Western traditions in that they didn’t fear showing their female nude.
