Mary Beard's Forbidden Art
Mary Beard explores how art and artists challenge viewers to confront ideas and opinions which, for all sorts of reasons, we would rather not face up to.
Mary Beard explores ways artists have shown 'forbidden' aspects of the human body – including scenes of sex, violence, death and even defecation - and interviews the artist Tracey Emin.
