I don't understand why someone would go out of their way to create "disturbing," violent or horrific "art" for any reason...most especially as a way to "appreciate beauty."
If I wish to get upset these days, I can read the newspaper or watch the evening news.
Here is how the Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary describes PORNOGRAPHY: "Pornography is the depiction of acts in a sensational manner so as to arouse a quick intense emotional reaction...as in the pornography of violence."
By this definition, "Tumbling Woman" could even be called "pornographic" although it would be a stretch for me to label it as such.
