It is also hard to separate a piece of work’s artistic merit from its impact. It is perfectly possible for a work of art to display great technical competence, and yet fail to have an emotional impact on its audience, and so as a consequence it seems most sensible to ... |
arts human rights thbt social disgust legitimate grounds restriction artistic | The power of the visual Art differs from other forms of media with regard to the expression of ideas.

To do ... |

arts science censorship ip digital freedoms access knowledge house believes all | Few artists ever see much profit from their work anyway, many choosing the life of bohemian squalor in order to keep producing art rather than taking up more profitable pursuits.
