Krátky popis
An elegant reference guide to the meaning of plants in art and
life. From early Egyptian reverence for the acacia and the lotus,
to the Victorian language of flowers and the works of Vincent Van
Gogh and Georgia O’Keeffe, we have long sought meaning in nature.
Significance has often been ascribed to particular plants,
referencing their uses as food or medicine, their associations with
saints and heroes, or more abstract or aesthetic qualities like
fortitude, beauty and strength.Weaving together botany, mythology,
folklore, religious texts, and centuries of art and literature,
this richly illustrated, elegant reference guide engages the
cultural significance and underlying meanings of over fifty plants.
Each entry is accompanied by a work of art or botanical
illustration, bringing together the world of art and plants in an
elegant and seamless fashion and deepening our understanding of how
plants have been used by artists in the past and what they mean to
us today. This is the ideal reference volume for the artistically
inspired botanist as well as a pleasure to read and leaf through.
