The Colorful Apocalypse
On The Revealer's sister site, Killing the Buddha: Greg Bottoms set out on the quest that resulted in his new book, The Colorful Apocalypse: Journeys in Outsider Art, with his schizophrenic brother -- driven by visions to Christian fundamentalism -- in mind. But he doesn't pathologize the religious art that he finds, or fetishize it as sacred kitsch, or succumb to its theology. Instead, he takes Revelation seriously.
