Surprise, confusion, desire, joy, fear, anticipation, anguish, happiness, pride, excitement, nostalgia, admiration, relief, tranquility, embarrassment... How many emotions do an artist inspire? And how many are retained within the work? And what does a spectator feel in front of that work? And how many are maintained over time and how many change and how do they change? These are the themes addressed in the volume which, through the works of twenty contemporary artists, investigates the emotions that arise from art, in a broader context that embraces philosophy, literature and architecture.
