A gorgeous volume demonstrating how flowers are an inexhaustible source of inspiration for artists of every era
Fragile yet powerful, flowers speak a language that transcends centuries and cultures. They narrate emotions, celebrate beauty, silently protest and preserve age-old tales. Bringing the multifaceted cultural history of flowers to life in impressive ways, this beautiful volume, comprising works from international collections (including the Louvre, Musée d'Orsay, Petit Palais and Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, alongside the botanical and scientific collections of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in London and the Museo Civico di Zoologia in Rome), offers works by Jan Brueghel the Younger, Hannah Höch, Andreas Gursky, Ann Carrington, Ai Weiwei and many others, along with the latest experimentation with digital technologies in contemporary art. Based on a stunning exhibition at the Chiostro del Bramante in Rome, this publication offers an unprecedented interpretation of the role flowers have played in the evolution of our history and society.
