by KieranCashell (Author)
Accused by the tabloid press of setting out to 'shock', controversial artworks are vigorously defended by art critics, who frequently downplay their disturbing emotional impact. This book argues that, in favouring conceptual rather than emotional reactions, commentators actually fail to engage with the work they promote.
