Unlike the fictitious subjects of its predecessors, this painting depicted a real brothel on a street often frequented by Picasso. He too was inspired by Cézanne's “Bathers” in the exhibition to which he accompanied Matisse, but his new painting did not make this immediately evident. The only similarities between “Bathers” and “Les Demoiselles” are the use of nude subjects and their crowding in the space; Matisse distributed his subjects to cover all areas of the space used. With this painting, Picasso was said to “replace sensual eroticism with a kind of aggressively crude pornography” (Harris & Zucker, n.d.). One of the main differences between “Bathers” and “Les Demoiselles” is that Picasso chose to use an internal setting, rather than the external one used by both Matisse and Cézanne. His use of sharp lines and deeper colors gives the piece a more mysterious, realistic (as opposed to utopian), and more serious tone. One thing that isn't so easily noticed is the fact that the subjects of “Les Demoiselles” seem almost unaware of each other. Their attention is on the viewer and it seems that this is their main, and perhaps only, concern at the moment. This is very different from the other two paintings, as their subjects are clearly aware of each other and interacting with each other
