about
Le Bonheur de Vivre was executed by Doug Jacques and his
students at ACC in 1998. Jacques piece is a very colorful,
slightly surreal viewing experience for all who pass by. With
depictions of floating coffee cups and pigs playing the violin
among its fanciful imagery, it has infiltrated the subconscious
sleep of the student body.
