It investigates the critical, tactical and subversive employments of religious motifs and themes in contemporary art pieces that confront the religious 'affair' in post-communist Romania. In doing so, it addresses a key gap in previous scholarship, which has paid little attention to the relationship between religious art and political resistance in communist Central and South-East Europe. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45278931943575,"sku":"9783030562571","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783030562571.webp?v=1769292252","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/art-religion-and-resistance-in-post-communist-romania-nostalgia-for-paradise-lost-9783030562571","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
