Art As Therapy
Philosophy & Religion Psychology & Self-Help Art, Design & Photography
Art as Therapy, the 2013 hardcover from Phaidon Press, teams philosopher Alain de Botton and art theorist John Armstrong with The School of Life to argue that paintings, sculpture and photography can be practical tools for everyday wellbeing. Their 240-page, fully illustrated guide pairs familiar masterpieces with exercises designed to calm, inspire and re-frame personal challenges.
This large-format copy arrives in very good condition from a smoke-free home, its dust jacket bright and all 200-plus color plates crisp. At 11 × 8.5 inches and over three pounds, the book feels more like a gallery companion than a typical criticism text, inviting slow browsing rather than quick reference.
Ideal for young adults, seasoned art lovers or anyone curious about creative mindfulness, Art as Therapy reframes art history as self-help without sacrificing scholarly depth. Add this eye-catching edition to your shelf and turn quiet evenings into mini-retreats led by the world’s best-loved images.
