The nakedness in one of Michalangelo’s fresco was painted over. Bill Henson’s work of a nude teenager caused a scandal. Paul Ryan’s work was labelled ‘offensive’ and Rolfe Harris ‘ work was taken down. The selection of Australia’s representation for the Venice Biennale in 2025 has been rescinded.

Bring your own examples and opinions of censored, misunderstood or bad behaviour in the arts.
