Arts inspire, but may provoke. They thrill, but sometimes offend.  And often the same artwork attracts both acclaim and condemnation. This book provides context that promotes understanding of the history of the arts and controversy.
     Artists featured in this book focus their respective attention on such perennially divisive topics as race, religion, politics, sex and violence. Although artworks reflecting these issues are included, the book is designed so that readers must make the choice of what they wish to view, listen to or read, and may opt out of seeing any objectionable material.
     Teachers are advised to review the entire book and to read "For Teachers" before using it in the classroom. Parents should know that the book has been rated according to Safe Use. As with teachers, parents should review this book, or any other book of its kind, before allowing unsupervised use by children.
