In this powerful argument for a fresh recognition of the role of the great and consoling illusions of religion in man's ethical and cultural life, Peter Fuller ranges from Rouault to Piper, from Ruskin to Roger Scruton, and from the New Expressionism to current developments in the crafts. His flaying of the pretentious invigorates, while his enthusiasm inspires the reader to seek out the unfamiliar and to return to the familiar with new understanding. Peter Fuller has contributed extensively to New Society, Art Monthly, and Design. His previous books include Art and PSychoanalysis, Beyond the Crisis in Art, and The Naked Artist.
