This new book offers a single, encompassing view of the
development of landscape painting, photography, and land art in
Britain from the eighteenth through to the late twentieth century.
It reveals the strong continuity between British landscape art of
today and that of over 250 years ago, with works by J.M.W. Turner,
John Constable, Thomas Gainsborough, John Piper, David Nash, and
Richard Long, amongst many others.
Tim Barringer is Paul Mellon Professor of the History of Art,
Yale University.
Oliver Fairclough is Keeper of Art, National Museum of
Wales.
America's favorite flora are the homey ray flowers, a tribe
featuring daisies, sunflowers, chrysanthemums, dahlias,
coneflowers, and black-eyed Susans, combined with the elegant,
multifaceted rose. Children pick ray flowers for their prepubescent
crush or for their mom; when they get older, they graduate to the
rose, a more sophisticated choice. Both high culture and pop
culture embrace floral imagery; think of Annie Liebovitz's famous
nude photograph of Bette Midler blanketed in long-stemmed American
Beauties on the cover of Rolling Stone, or zombies featured in a
Wars of the Roses comic book. Thousands of postcards and greeting
cards are covered in a sea of roses and ray flowers. Meet Daisy
Mae, see Daisy the dog, and view the presidential Rose Garden, as
well as influential American and European works of art. These
images are combined with the history and romance of our favorite
flowers. A nonallergenic floral extravaganza!
