The hype surrounding alternative medicine, the widespread goal of healthy eating and sport, the tendency to flee the city for the countryside, not least the current climate movement and its aim to bring about a social rethink through an individually sustainable lifestyle, are more relevant today than ever before. Nevertheless, where does this longing for a more wholesome life come from? The volume examines various forms of the search for salvation in art and society since the end of the 19th century. Experts in life reform movements, psychology, art therapy and art history look at the different facets of the quest for healing and provide an outlook on the relevance of the subject today.
