In Western art, Manet's 'Olympia' is one painting that was controversial in it's own time. This is a subjective answer because there will always be controversial art. Marcel Duchamp's 'Nude Descending a Staircase #2' was also very controversial when it was first shown in America at the Armory Show in 1912.
