Postmodern Heretics

Focusing on the intersection of religion and contemporary art, Eleanor Heartney's re-edited edition explores the influence of Catholicism on the Culture Wars of the 1990s. It reveals that many controversial artists of the era came from Catholic backgrounds, challenging the notion that creativity and faith are inherently opposed. The book offers a fresh perspective on how Catholic culture shaped artistic expression and reflects on current cultural conflicts, suggesting that understanding these religious roots can foster healing in today's divided society.
