History has proved the terrible consequences of oppressing subcultures that don't align with the dominant culture.

Take, for example, the first room, devoted to the subtheme "disillusioned body," catalog-speak for the deconstruction of the human form. Here Willem de Kooning's grotesque 1972 sculpture The Clamdigger is accompanied by Alberto Giacometti's spare Standing Woman II (1959-60), Pablo Picasso's contorted Women Before the Sea (1956) and Francis Bacon's bizarre 1964 triptych Three Figures in a Room?all demonstrating just how discombobulated a body can be. Around the corner is a group of multiples: Andy Warhol...
