From Sylvia Plath's poetry to Francis Bacon's paintings, from the \u003cem\u003eSaw\u003c\/em\u003e franchise to Yoko Ono's performance art, Nelson's nuanced exploration across the artistic landscape ultimately offers a model of how one might balance strong ethical convictions with an equally strong appreciation for work that tests the limits of taste, taboo, and permissibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"W.
