Le scandale de l'art de Shelley - Pleins feux sur Allen Jones

Il y a des artistes qui cherchent à être controversés, soit pour faire passer un message, soit pour se faire remarquer. En général, il s’agit d’œuvres qui sont controversées pour l’époque, mais avec le temps et l’évolution de la culture, la plupart des œuvres d’art scandaleuses semblent beaucoup moins risquées. Allen Jones n’est pas de ceux-là. Né à Southampton en 1937, il a grandi à…

Shelley’s Art Scandal: Banksy has been Monkeying Around

  “Devolved Parliament” 2009 Banksy

I don’t think that it has escaped anyone’s attention that currently British politics is in a state of complete and utter mayhem.  I can honestly say, being English I have never been so dismayed at those who are leading our country or watched a completely shambolic display from those who are supposed to be the voice of the people and acting on their behalf,…

Shelley’s Art Scandal – Women and the art world – why are there so few?

Hopefully, it didn’t escape anyone’s attention that it was International Women’s Day on the 8th March.  This day has been created to try and help eliminate discrimination against women across the world.  It is really hard to think that in this day and age that this still exists, but horrendous acts still happen towards women all over the world, but discrimination doesn’t have to be large awful…

Shelley’s Art Scandal – THAT painting by Balthus…

The Guitar Lesson – Balthus 1934

Well… It’s been a while, hasn’t it… since I last wrote about scandalous art, so I thought I would make my come back with a big bang and investigate one of the most notorious and provocative paintings.

We are now in an age, where we, thankfully, are becoming increasingly aware of consent, trying to stamp out acts against minors and ensuring adequate processes are…
