Monsters: What Do We Do With Great Art By Bad People?

A forensic and incisive exploration of the relationship between creativity and morality, Dederer's volume questions to what extent it is acceptable to appreciate the art of monstrous individuals in a supposedly compassionate society.
Pablo Picasso beat his partners. Richard Wagner was deeply antisemitic. David Bowie slept with an underage fan. But many of us still love Guernica and the Ring cycle and Ziggy Stardust.
And what are we to do with that love? How are we, as fans, to reckon with the biographical choices of the artists whose work sustains us?
Wildly smart and insightful, Monsters is an exhilarating attempt to understand our relationship with art and the artist in the twenty-first century.
