Art and Obscenity (Art and Series) By Kerstin Mey
2006 | 168 Pages | ISBN: 1845112342 , 1845112350 | PDF | 1 MB
Explicit material is more widely available in the internet age than ever before, yet the concept of obscenity remains as difficult to pin down as it is to approach without bias: notions of what is obscene shift with societies shifting mores, and our responses to explicit or disturbing material can be highly subjective. In this intelligent and sensitive book, Kerstin Mey grapples with the work of twentieth-century artists practising at the edges of acceptability, from Hans Bellmer through to Nobuyoshi Araki, from Robert Mapplethorpe to Annie Sprinkle, and from Hermann Nitsch to Paul McCarthy. Mey refuses sweeping statements and knee-jerk responses, arguing with dexterity that some works, regardless of their high art context, remain deeply problematic, whilst others are both groundbreaking and liberating.
