Hidden Sex: Art and Shame
2023•52m•7.5•Released
DocumentaryHistoryTV Movie
The representation of genitalia in the fine arts was censored for centuries: sexual organs were discreetly hidden among fig leaves, pearls or sheets; and it is still a taboo today. From Antiquity to the present day, the history of puritanism applied to art and the tricks used by artists to circumvent censorship.
