Talks about the work of 20th-century artists, from Hans Bellmer through to Nobuyoshi Araki, from Robert Mapplethorpe to Annie Sprinkle, and from Hermann Nitsch to Paul McCarthy. Here, the author argues that some works, regardless of their 'high art' context, remain deeply problematic, whilst others are both groundbreaking and liberating.
