A provocative re-examining of the story of art through the most contentious works ever produced. Depraved shows how these creations - and our reactions to them - reveal the darkest corners of the human psyche.

What makes an artwork immoral? Why do these troubling creations have such a hold on us? And how should we deal with them?

In Depraved, philosopher of art Daisy Dixon takes the reader on a journey through some of the most volatile and contentious works ever produced - from prehistoric sculpture to extreme metal music, Renaissance paintings to videogames. She reveals how beautiful art can sometimes be the most insidious, and why the greatest threat might lie in our own judgements about the art we censor or condemn.

Above all, Dixon builds a powerful case for returning the terrible gaze of our disturbing creations, showing how we can confront them head-on and tame their toxic effects.
