This volume investigates the many ways in which Western art visualized the concept from the early Middle Ages to the present. Employing different methodological approaches, the essays gathered here situate the concept of human happiness within discourses on gender, religion, intellectual life, politics and 'New-Age' culture. Operating as a cultural agent, art communicated the idea of happiness as both a physical and spiritual condition by exploiting specific formulae of representation. This volume combines art history, cultural analyses and intellectual studies in order to explore the complexities of iconographic programs that represent various forms of happiness, or its explicit absence, and to expose the implications embedded in the artistic works in question. Through innovative readings, the ten authors presented in the book survey different artistic and/or cultural paradigms and offer new interpretations of happiness or of its absence. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Happiness in art|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh97001169|vCongresses.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001533 650 7 Happiness in art.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 951181 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Conference papers and proceedings.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1423772 655 7 Conference papers and proceedings.|2lcgft|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026068 700 1 Milano, Ronit.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2009073871 700 1 Barcham, William L.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n88034052 776 08 |iPrint version:|tHappiness or its absence in art |z1443847224|w(OCoLC)830627673 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=860129|zOnline eBook.
