"THE GARDEN IN ART"
"THE GARDEN IN ART"
by Debra N Mancoff.
Rich in symbolism and metaphor, and blessed with its own varied and dramatic palette, the garden has proved to be an extremely fertile source of artistic
inspiration. In The Garden in Art, acclaimed art historian Debra N. Mancoff reveals the many different ways in which artists from all periods
of history – from ancient Egypt to the present day – have employed the motif of the garden. Featuring more than 200 illustrations of both renowned and
lesser-known works, the book approaches its subject thematically, exploring such topics as working gardens, the garden through the seasons and
artists’ gardens..
A 240-page hardback, $110.00.
