**"Transgressions: The Offences of Art" by Anthony Julius explores the following themes and topics**:

-   **Subversion in art**: The book traces the history of subversion in art, particularly from the mid-19th century onwards, examining how artists have challenged conventional ideas to test and subvert morality, law, society, and art itself 【1】.
-   **The offences of art**: It addresses the controversial subject of what happens when all boundaries have been crossed, taboos broken, and limits violated in art 【1】. The book questions the assimilation of innovation as an artistic value and prompts reflection on what constitutes art 【2】.
-   **Relationship between art, morality, law, and society**: Julius argues that artists have intentionally rejected established ideas about morality, aesthetics, law, society, and religion 【3】.
-   **History of art and its reception**: The book analyzes the history of transgressive art, from the reactions to **Manet's** *Le Déjeuner sur l'Herbe* to more contemporary scandals 【4】【5】.
