'''''[[September Morn]]''''' is an [[oil painting]] on canvas completed in 1911 by the French artist [[Paul Émile Chabas]], depicting a nude girl or young woman standing in the shallow water of a lake, leaning slightly forward in an ambiguous posture. From 1913 on, reproductions of the painting caused controversy in the United States. An art dealer in [[Chicago]] was charged with indecency and another in New York was targeted by anti-vice crusader [[Anthony Comstock]], both after displaying ''September Morn''. It was reproduced in a variety of forms, including on pins and calendars, while censorship and art were debated in newspapers. Chabas' painting inspired songs, stage shows and films; some 7 million reproductions were sold. Although several women claimed to be the model for ''September Morn'', Chabas never revealed her identity. He responded positively to statements that it was his masterpiece. Later writers, however, have described the painting as [[kitsch]], valuable only as a historic artifact. |
