Sex Objects: Art and the Dialectics of Desire Book

Moving beyond debates about pornography and censorship, Jennifer Doyle shows us that sex in art is as diverse as sex in everyday life: exciting, ordinary, emotional, traumatic, embarrassing, funny, and even boring. Sex Objects examines the reception and frequen misunderstanding of sexualized images, words, and performances. In chapters on the "boring parts" of Moby Dick, the scandals that plagued the painter Thomas Eakins, the role of women in Andy Warhol's films, "bad sex" and Tracey Emin's evocative line drawings, and L.A. artist Vaginal Davis's pornogrpahic parodies of Vanessa Beecroft's performances, Sex Objects challenges simplistic readings of sexualized art and investigates what such works tell us about the nature of desire.Read More
