5.0 out of 5 stars
An enlightening course in understanding,
By M. Rose "Peace, Love, and Open Mic Nights" (Madison, Wisconsin USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Arresting Images: Impolitic Art and Uncivil Actions (Paperback)
Dubin presents controversy between the art world and the political and religious realms in a way that is objective and enlightening. A few of these readings, mainly the chapters on Andres Serrano and Robert Mapplethorpe, were assigned in a "Contemporary Art in America since 1945" Art History class I took last year. I found this information incredible and I believe it has a poignant place in our history. The discussions that these works generated are amazing and says a great deal about the status of art in our society and the politics unavoidably surrounding it in American contemporary culture.

Tedious in places, but rewarding overall.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Arresting Images: Impolitic Art and Uncivil Actions (Paperback)
How did so many "shocking" photographers and performance artists become wildly famous (albeit, underpaid) towards the end of the Reagan era? By pissing off religious and polical leaders, that's how! Tedious in places, but rewarding overall.
