La sensualità è uno degli aspetti più indagati dall’arte e più presenti fra le sale dei musei. Lo scopriremo grazie a B-Side – Il lato nascosto dell’arte, viaggio intrapreso da Caroline Pochon e Allan Rothschild attraverso la storia della rappresentazione del fondoschiena, oggetto proibito del desiderio su cui si sono concentrati gli sguardi di molti artisti.

“Give me a report on the condition of my soul.
Give me a complete statement of my actions.
Hand me a jack-in-the-pulpit and let me listen in.
Put me in the stirrups and bring a tour group through.
Number my sins on the grocery list and let me buy.
Did I make you go insane?” excerpt from the poem Anna Who Was Mad
