Depraved shows how these creations – and our reactions to them – reveal the most disturbing corners of the human psyche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes an artwork immoral? Why do these troubling creations have such a hold on us? And how should we deal with them? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe live in a moment when the dangers of art seem more prevalent than ever: artists are ‘cancelled’ for their misdeeds, public statues are toppled, images of violence and obscenity await us at the touch of a button. But as this provocative new history demonstrates, we humans have always used art to make sense of the less innocent aspects of ourselves and the world around us. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr Daisy Dixon is a prize-winning philosopher. She is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Philosophy at Cardiff University, specialising in the philosophy of art – particularly immoral and dangerous art that entrenches structural injustice. Her work examines the collision between aesthetics and ethics: why certain artworks scandalise, how art can normalise harm, and what it means to call a work of art ‘dangerous’. She has written on oppressive monuments, aesthetic protest, deceptive art and immoral artists, and has an art practice in painting and sonic sculpture. In 2024, she was shortlisted for the BBC’s New Generation Thinker scheme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJess Davies\u003c\/strong\u003e is a TV and radio presenter, women’s rights campaigner and author of No One Wants To See Your D*ck: A Handbook for Survival in a Digital World (2025) that investigates online harms and new technology such as AI abuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJess presents current affairs documentaries for BBC and S4C, investigating issues that overwhelmingly affect women and young people including the manosphere and sexual exploitation both on and offline.
