Knowing how to be calm is one of life’s greatest skills, for even if we have every other possible advantage, so long as our mind is frantic, we will never taste the happiness we seek.
Calm in 40 Images is a comprehensive guide to the art of calm. Featuring the work of some of history’s most soothing photographers and artists – like Johannes Vermeer, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Gwen John, and Edward Hopper – alongside essays to invite contemplation, it takes us systematically through the many things that unsettle us, and arrives at a range of solutions to ease our spirits.
The latest instalment in our…In 40 Images series, the book invites us not just to understand calm but to appreciate it with our eyes and discover it with our senses
