John Waters and the Art of Obscenity

Summary For as long as time itself, people have tried to separate art from obscenity. Yet John Waters had made it the goal of his career to do just the opposite. Waters and his unruly band of misfits he calls Dreamlanders practically invented shock humour. And their "bad taste trilogy" is every bit as grotesque, vile, offensive, and obscene, as it promises. In fact, Waters' films are so completely and proudly devoid of morals that they sometimes verge on unforgivable. So why do we consider them art?
