ART AGAINST DESPAIR (SCHOOL OF LIFE) (HB)

A collection of 100 of the world’s most consoling and uplifting images, accompanied by small essays that offer us comfort and inspiration. The images in the book range wildly across time and space: from ancient to modern art, east to west, north to south, taking in photography, painting, abstract and figurative art. All the images have been carefully chosen to help with a particular problem we might face: a broken heart, a difficulty at work, the meanness of others, the challenges of family and friends.
