Flower Power: The Meaning of Flowers in Art

Introducere de Anna Pavord Autor Andrew Moore, Christopher Garibaldi
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 mar 2003
The book is about the power of cut flowers to move the onlooker. This power has been crucial to the adoption of flowers in every culture to symbolize life, beauty and death.The book brings together a wide variety of ravishing illustrations of the cut flower in the history of European fine and decorative art since 1500. The consideration of non-European traditions, such as those of China and the Indian sub-continent, enrich the visual material and illustrate the differences between cultures.A series of thematic chapters follows a broadly chronological arrangement of works of fine and decorative art, manuscripts and books. The early symbolism and mythologies associated with flowers are illustrated through detailed medieval manuscripts. Illustrations of paintings, textiles, furniture, silver and ceramics focus on the meaning of individual flowers through the course of the book.This book was published to accompany Flower Power, a major exhibition sponsored by Sainsbury's (Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery and the Millennium Galleries, Sheffield).
