Pablo Picasso's Women of Algiers (1955) sold at auction for a record-breaking $179 million on Monday. In reporting this story, NYC affiliate Fox 5 News thoughtfully blurred the distinctly cubist breasts on the famous painting's abstract female figures.
Ahhh, that's better.
As it turns out, the history of art is absolutely brimming with nipples, butts, vaginas, testicles, and other fleshy unmentionables that have no business being seen by anyone who isn't a trained medical professional.
Well, not anymore. Inspired by Fox 5, we've taken the liberty of de-smutting 10 more iconic yet family-unfriendly paintings and sculptures. Enjoy, and don't forget: your body is shameful.
