A richly illustrated survey celebrating humankind’s enduring
relationship with the garden, explored throughout art, science,
history, and culture Garden takes readers on a journey across
continents and cultures to discover the endless ways artists and
image-makers have found inspiration in gardens and horticulture
throughout history. With more than 300 entries, this comprehensive
and stunning visual survey showcases the diversity of the garden
from all over the world – from the garden of Eden and the
grandeur of the English landscape garden to Japanese Zen gardens
and the humble vegetable plot. Spanning a wide range of styles and
media – art, illustrations, and sculptures to photography, film
stills, and textiles – Garden follows a visually
arresting sequence, with works, regardless of period, thoughtfully
paired, and features large-scale images, accessible texts, and
reference information, including a glossary, illustrated timeline,
and biographies. Offering a comprehensive introduction to the
subject, Garden features work by a diverse range of
both lesser-known and iconic artists, including Pierre Bonnard,
Roberto Burle Marx, Lucas Cranach the Elder, Gertrude Jekyll,
Claude Monet, Marianne North, Crispijn de Passe, William Robinson,
Alma Thomas, and Howard Sooley, among others, including a variety
of surprising examples that will appeal to specialists as well as
the general reader. Aimed at a wide audience, this book has diverse
appeal – from artists, designers, and art historians to garden
enthusiasts, horticulturists, and everyone interested in the
natural world around them.
