BOOK OF THE FLOWER: FLOWERS IN ART (PB)

Haphazard bunches, formal bouquets, chance arrangements, quiet rural encounters - The Book of the Flower is a collection of beautiful depictions of flowers by artists, photographers and illustrators. Interspersed throughout are short texts about the artists and their interest in particular flowers, from Georgia O’Keeffe’s sumptuous close-ups of Jimson Weed and cactus flowers to Matisse’s roses, Keika Hasegawa’s chrysanthemums and Albert York’s close study of zinnias.
