Exploring the evolving concept of obscenity, this book delves into the works of 20th-century artists who challenge societal norms around explicit material. Kerstin Mey analyzes figures like Hans Bellmer, Nobuyoshi Araki, and Robert Mapplethorpe, navigating the complexities of art that straddles the line of acceptability. With a nuanced perspective, she critiques the problematic nature of certain pieces while celebrating others as innovative and freeing, emphasizing the subjective nature of our responses to provocative art.
