Garden - Exploring the Horticultural World - Beau Livre

A survey celebrating humankind's enduring relationship with the garden, explored throughout art, science, history and culture. A collection of more than 300 stunning images, Garden takes readers on a journey across continents and cultures to discover the endless ways artists, gardeners, landscape designers and other image-makers throughout history - extending over 4 000 years from ancient Egypt to today - have found inspiration in the horticultural world.
Showcasing the diversity of gardens from all over the globe - from the grandeur of the English landscape garden and Japanese Zen gardens to the humble vegetable plot - the included works also span a wide range of styles and media. Curated by an international panel of experts, images are artfully arranged to highlight thought-provoking contrasts and similarities between them. This comprehensive survey includes both iconic and lesser-known works by a diverse range of artists and creators, such as Pierre Bonnard, Lancelot "Capability" Brown, Fergus Garrett, Roberto Burle Marx, Claude Mollet, Gertrude Jekyll, David LaChapelle, Marianne North, Faith Ringgold, Howard Sooley and Jonas Wood, among others.
