DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe "flower piece" has existed as an art genre since the 16th century, but for decades the floral still life was considered unworthy of artists' attention because of its alleged superficiality and bourgeois banality. But now in the nineties, this old motif is enjoying a revival. ART OF THE FLOWER places the genre in its historical perspective.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFew objects have been more symbolic in art through the ages than flowers: they have represented freshness and fertility, love in its many manifestations, transience and death. And yet in recent times they have often been reduced to a simple decorative motif. The mushroom has played a role as a remedy, a hallucinogenin the cultures of Mexico and the Vikings, and as a symbol within religious ritual. Today it can be a cheesy good luck charm or a trite hallucinogen. Contemporary art draws on these cliches and explores the long and rich tradition of such representations, contributing entirely new levels of meaning, from social criticism to feminism and from reflections on the media to the erotic. Essays by M. Harder, M. Moschik, T. Teufel, P. Weiermair, V. Ziegelmaier et al."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is a book about flowers and about painters. The author has chosen forty of her favourite flower paintings and as she is both expert gardener and art historian, she has all manner of fascinating things to say about the flowers, the artists and the contexts of the paintings. Manet's Still Life with Rose and Brioche may still hold secrets but it certainly records the arrival of the new hybrid tea rose in all its perfection. Vanessa Bell's Red Hot Pokers and Artichoke came in the wake of Roger Fry's Post-Impressionist exhibitions in London and at a time when Bell had found refuge and creative energy with Duncan Grant at Charleston. The paintings are not always the most obvious - Van Gogh is here represented by a ravishing branch of almond blossom. But Monet has his waterlilies and Rennie Mackintosh his delicate fritillaries and there is a feast of glorious Dutch bouquets. There is old and new, known and unknown in this wonderful collection. Each painting has been chosen both to delight the eye and to offer a source of lively stories and intriguing facts.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKVanitas Flower Collection : The Art of Dutch Golden Age Flower Still Life 127 This book introduces the fascinating genre of Vanitas Flower paintings, which emerged in the Dutch Golden Age of the 16th and 17th centuries. These paintings depict various flowers that symbolize the transience of beauty, the futility of worldly pleasures, and the vanity of human achievements. The term Vanitas comes from the Latin phrase "Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities, all is vanity", which begins the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible. This phrase also inspired the Memento Mori philosophy, which urges people to remember their mortality and live accordingly. In this book, you will learn about the history, culture, and aesthetics of Vanitas Flower, and explore the works and artists of this genre, from the Dutch Golden Age to the present day. You will see how these paintings reflect the social and religious changes of the Dutch Republic, as well as the artistic influences of other countries and regions. You will also discover the hidden meanings and symbols behind the flowers depicted in these paintings, such as roses, tulips, lilies, carnations, sunflowers, and corn ears.
