San Francisco art student’s sex-act performance deserved a F for unoriginality. But “what is going on here is part of a long and rich tradition, here recapitulated more as a whimper than as a bang. Shocking the bourgeoisie has been a goal of Western artists for the past 150 years. When Edouard Manet painted a cheeky prostitute who boldly looked back at the presumed male viewer as a decidedly non-classical nude, he helped set off an artistic challenge to shock the viewer that has escalated with every subsequent generation. But after more than a century and a half, virtually everything has been done before.” – San Francisco Examiner
