A warning wouldn't hurt

The Picasso exhibition which opened at The Gallery of Modern Art today is a coup and guaranteed to drag the crowds in.
It's an intriguing, interesting and at times confronting collection of works by the artist as well as works that inspired the artist enough to find their way into Picasso's private collection.
It will not be everyone's cup of tea and in fact there may be many parents who would prefer that their kids didn't see all of the works on show.
A wall from Picasso's erotic period, which is graphic in its depiction of female genitalia, is not the stuff of primary school text books.
In a way it is a testament to our maturity that Queensland's premier Anna Bligh could be paraded in front of the drawings without a blink while a collection of similar erotic Picassos was never taken to New York because of what was described as cultural censorship.
No-one would want to see the exhibition banned or censored but a word of warning would be nice.
Remember this same exhibition has an accompanying Yo Picasso exhibit with activities designed to amuse little children and children are being admitted free to see the show.
And Arts Minister Rod Welford said "I encourage all Queenslanders to get along to GOMA in the coming months to enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime cultural experience".
Other exhibits have moved the more graphic material to an area which allows families to bypass the more confronting material should they choose.
The same approach would be appropriate here.
Outside the walls of a gallery this is not the sort of stuff many of us would choose to let our children see. The same consideration within the gallery would be in order.
