Paul Chabas (Nantes, March 7, 1869 - Paris, May 10, 1937) was a French painter and illustrator. His most famous painting, September Morn, became a "Succes 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.
