Fairground art in the 1970s was notorious for its depictions of sex, horror, and the truly bizarre. Avant-garde artists blended colorful fantasy with everyday scenes to produce some truly wacky visual art. The two images below are worth a quick look, and contain no nudity or horrific death scenes.

The first image shows a man and woman provocatively positioned on a love seat being carried down a ladder by a policeman from a burning building while a dragon, held by a shocked young girl, blows fire from below:

Disturbing, but clever.

The next image makes little sense. One side is just plain bizarre; the other is extremely racist. Either way, why is a woman kissing a robot? And, how was this allowed in public?

Wrong on so many levels...

Needless to say, today’s fairground art is much tamer.
