Art, Porn or Censorship ??

This is the cover of Art Monthly Australia magazine.





This image was shown in some parts of the mainstream media.

However, this is the image that has been shown in other parts of the mainstream media.

(Note: the use of a 'black box' to cover the child)

This is what has been cut from the original cover of Art Monthly Australia.

Note: the child is now much more prominent in the image, much of the painting has been cut away and the title of the magazine (which includes the word 'Art') has been removed.


Random Man wonders if Kevin Rudd even saw the full image before he judged it ??
