Can we separate great art from the people who create it? And what happens when the artists we admire have done terrible things?

In Monsters, this thought-provoking exploration of art, morality, and fandom examines the uncomfortable relationship between creative genius and personal behaviour.

Drawing on controversial figures including Pablo Picasso, Richard Wagner, and David Bowie, the book questions how we reconcile our appreciation of their work with their actions and beliefs.

Combining cultural criticism with personal reflection, Monsters challenges readers to reconsider what it means to admire an artist in the modern world.

Perfect for readers interested in art, music, popular culture, ethics, and the complicated relationship between creativity and morality.
