brief_description
Alyce Mahon discusses 20th century art through the lens of eroticism - from the romantic to the explicit: from Impressionist Paris where the naked body signalled the rise of a new, modern world, to the contemporary scene where artists use eroticism to address the politics of race, gender, and sexual orientation
