CLEAN:Crime and Punishment and Painting

France faces up to one of the darker aspects of its national psyche in a major new exhibition at the Musee d'Orsay focusing on Crime and Punishment. The show brings together artworks with documentary writings and objects Ð including a guillotine Ð to look at the history of punishing wrongdoing from Cain to the 20th century, taking in masterpieces from David, William Blake, Goya and Picasso. France did not abolish the death penalty until the 1980s, and guillotined its last prisoner as recently as 1977. Paris France (Footage by AFPTV via Getty Images)
