'Flower: Exploring the World in Bloom'

The latest instalment in Phaidon's bestselling 'Explorer Series', this survey celebrates the beauty and appeal of flowers throughout art, history, and culture. A beautiful and compelling investigation into how floral motifs have been applied throughout history, the book spans a wide range of styles and media — from art, botanical illustrations, and sculptures to floral arrangements, film stills, and textiles — and explores links and common themes between works from different periods.
