BOOK BOUQUETS

DESCRIPTION

Whether it's a single bud delicately placed in a transparent vase or an explosion of colorful flowers, a successful bouquet relaxes the atmosphere and brightens a day. The beauty of flowers has inspired many artists, designers, poets, and a myriad of other creators for centuries: 17th-century Dutch masters and impressionist painters (from Manet to van Gogh), American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, the German botanical illustrator Georg Dionysius Ehret, and even the unique Andy Warhol.

The Temptation of Flowers presents a glorious profusion of flowery images and examines their presence in a variety of artistic media and periods. The journalist specializing in the art of living Sixtine Dubly relates the evolution of floral design and links the masterful return of flowers in the art of living to converging trends: the blossoming of nature in the city, neo-romanticism, the valorization know-how and craftsmanship, without forgetting the joy of composing a bouquet yourself. From the American Slow Flower movement to Parisian Haute Couture florists, from contemporary artists to starred chefs - from earth to art - we have never wanted flowers so much.

This book also presents the incredible work of more than forty floral artists (from Paris to New York via London), from the most minimalist to the most elaborate. This treasure trove of splendid illustrations radiates with dazzling colors.
