Why did people find this painting outrageous at that time? Do you still beleive that the artist went too far? Do you think the interpretation the journalist gives is correct, or does he exaggerate a bit? How do you feel when you look at it?

We'll talk about this tomorrow but feel free to leave any comment ;)
