Flowers are a perennially popular motif throughout art history. And
for good reason: lush with texture and colour, a living bouquet of
blooms can be made to communicate much through the masterly
brushstrokes of Vincent Van Gogh or Georgia O'Keeffe, in the hands
of a skilled ikebana artist, or through the lens of contemporary
photography. For more than two decades, Swiss photographer Anna
Halm Schudel has focused her eye on flowers, zooming in on calyxes,
pistils, and leaf veins to create exuberant feasts of colours.
While celebrating the wide variety of shapes and sizes that nature
and human cultivation have brought us, Schudel is no less
fascinated by the process of decay. As the flowers fade, wilt, and
wither, she transforms them under water into images of strange,
compelling beauty, to combine their delicate beauty with a stirring
memento mori. Eighty strikingly beautiful colour plates are
complemented by two essays that examine Schudel's symbolism and put
her work in context with the history of the floral still life. As
exquisite as the subject itself, this beautifully designed large
book is sure to inspire appreciation for this rising Swiss artist.
Text in English and German.
