Art has no limits, as long as you find a sence in it and a way of expressing your ideas, you can go as far as you wish and need.

Okay, art has to have some limits. Take for example the issue of Aliza Shvarts. For her senior project at Yale, she decided to continually artifically inseminate herself, induce her own miscarriages, saved the blood from such, mixed it with Vaseline and spread the mixture onto saran wrap to project the video of these miscarriages.

Art needs limits, but not to constricting. I've always regarded art as a way to either beautify mankind or to test the moral limits of a culture. Classical art, i.e. da Vinci, Michelangelo, anything Roman or Greek or ancient, usually beautified mankind. The offensive art came along to sate the needs of people who saw their societies drifting off into insanity. If art needs limits, I would say it stops at the harm to the artist, or to the viewing public. This means that offensiveness is completely appropriate, such as the piece done recently by Terence Koh which was a statue of Jesus Christ with an erection. However, things that could incense people to the threat of violence is unquestionably dangerous. Take for example the story of Shvarts and The Romans in Britain, where in one scene of the play a man is sodomized. Although the second example is almost tolerable, there will always be one person who takes it too far and ruins it for everyone. Therefore, art should be constrained merely by the amount of pain it can cause. Also modern artists should learn that they don't always need to make complex or offensive art. They should make it for the common man to be able to understand.

Sorry if that was rather long. I've been researching this topic for a little bit of time and needed to dump the extra infro somewhere. And sorry if I messed up the time periods on the artists, I'm a science person anyhow.
