Description

Be uplifted and encouraged by this thoughtful book from The School of Life.

Art Against Despair brings together a collection of the world’s most consoling and uplifting images, accompanied by small essays that talk about the works in a way that offers 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 us with a particular problem: a broken heart, difficulty at work, the meanness of others, the challenges of family and friends.
