He first exhibited at the Salon in 1890. He was awarded a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle of 1900 and in 1912 received the M??daille d??honneur. His preferred subject was a nude young girl in a natural setting. His most famous painting, September Morn (1912), became a "Succ??s de scandale" in the United States in May, 1913, when Anthony Comstock, head of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, protested against the painting as supposedly immoral. There was much publicity, and reproductions of the painting sold briskly for years afterwards. September Morn has often been cited as an example of kitsch.  Related Paintings of Paul Emile Chabas :. | Mount Vesuvius in Eruption | The Battle of the Milvian Bridge,from The Life of Constantine (mk01) | Path on the Rlo | Bonfire | David Ricardo |
