A comprehensive and sumptuous survey that celebrates the beauty and
appeal of flowers throughout art, history, and culture The latest
installment in the bestselling Explorer Series takes readers on a
journey across continents and cultures to discover the endless ways
artists and image-makers have employed floral motifs throughout
history. Showcasing the diversity of blooms from all over the
world, Flower spans a wide range of styles and media - from art,
botanical illustrations, and sculptures to floral arrangements,
film stills, and textiles - and follows a visually stunning
sequence with works, regardless of period, thoughtfully paired to
allow interesting and revealing juxtapositions between them.
Even now, when modern technology has made information so easy to
exchange, some words are still hard to say. In this book, Shane
Connolly examines the language of flowers in the context of love -
that most tricky and subtle of emotions. Using a selection of over
fifty gorgeous plants, Shane demonstrates how flowers, whether as
single stems or as part of an arrangement, can reveal what our
lovestruck, lovelorn or love-renewed selves are too wary or
tongue-tied to express. Over eight practical projects, including
simple wild strawberry wedding buttonholes and a biodegradable
funeral arrangement, communicate their own exclusive and personal
message.
