A quotation from Bertrand Russell
All the governments of the world adopt elaborate methods of concealing truths which they consider undesirable, and inflict various forms of penalty upon those who spread knowledge which is thought bad for the population This applies especially to knowledge of the kind which is considered seditious, and the kind which is considered obscene. I shall not give instances, since, if I did, I should myself fall under the ban of the law.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Education and the Social Order [Education and the Modern World], ch. 1 “The Individual versus the Citizen” (1932)More about this quote: wist.info/russell-bertrand/853…

CW: Female nudity -- sexual activity
Christian Schad -- Two Girls -- 1928 -- Oil on Canvas -- Private Collection
Another picture from the 2006 exhibition catalogue "Glitter and Doom: German Portraits from the 1920s" that struck me was Christian Schad's 1928 "Two Girls".
The catalogue entry claims that the picture would "descend into gross pornography" were the figure in the foreground to be shown looking at the viewer.
Rather than enter into a moralistic and unproductive discussion of this claim, I would rather consider whether the picture shows a couple's intimacy or the self- absorption of two isolated individuals.
