Synopsis
In this striking sequel to the highly successful The Seasons Observed, Evelyn Lauder continues her photographic explorations of the nuances of the natural world. Abstractly sensuous, Lauder's serene "nature-scapes" reveal the camouflage patterns of plane tree barks, rhythmic undulations of snowdrifts, geometric patterns formed by sunlight, and other ecological wonders. Her search for such exquisite organic symmetries has taken her everywhere from the mountains of Colorado to the wilds of Patagonia and the remote regions of Myanmar (Burma).
The implicit themes of Lauder's photographs-optimism and nature's capacity for healing and renewal-are also those of her intense dedication to breast cancer research, and all royalties from An Eye for Beauty will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

About the Author
Evelyn Lauder is a senior corporate vice president of Estee Lauder Inc., a well-known philanthropist, and a founder of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Her photographs have been exhibited widely through the United States and are in the collections of such distinguished museums as the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum in New York. Amy Spindler is Fashion Editor of The New York Times.
From Publishers Weekly
Lauder has twin careers in beauty: as an executive at the Estée Lauder Companies she hawks cosmetics, but as a well-regarded photographer, she concentrates on the beauty of her physical surroundings. This volume, a follow-up to her successful The Seasons Observed, includes lively images of a Chilean sand dune, a field of French poppies and a sunset in Myanmar. While it's true that many of these pictures don't reflect the sophistication-either technological or visual-of a gifted photographer, they often display the grace and vision of an artistic spirit. Captured by Lauder, a pond in New York contains the changing depth of an expressionist painting, and the translucent leaves of a palm tree shimmer with light. At worst, the work is pretty but boring-like a slide show of someone else's vacation-but at its best, it is somehow calming and exhilarating at the same time. Royalties from sales will be donated to the Break Cancer Research Foundation; 50 full color photographs.
