1936, Henri Matisse, Seated Pink Nude (Nu rose assis) -- Philadelphia Museum of Art (special exhibition)
From the exhibition label: The stark look of Seated Pink Nude is a clue to Matisse's working method. Changes and corrections, the visible signs of the artist's process, are laid bare on its surface. Matisse once remarked, "People often add or superpose--completing things without changing their plan, whereas I rework my plan every time. I never get tired. I start again, working from the previous state."
