From Sylvia Plath's poetry to Francis Bacon's paintings, from the \u003cem\u003eSaw\u003c\/em\u003e franchise to Yoko Ono's performance art, Nelson's nuanced exploration across the artistic landscape ultimately offers a model of how one might balance strong ethical convictions with an equally strong appreciation for work that tests the limits of taste, taboo, and permissibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0393343146\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780393343144\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Nelson, Maggie\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: W.
