A comprehensive and sumptuous survey that celebrates the beauty and appeal of flowers throughout art, history, and culture

Take a journey across continents and cultures to discover the endless ways artists and image-makers have employed floral motifs throughout history. With 316 color illustrations showcasing the diversity of blooms from all over the world, Flower spans a wide range of styles and media - from art, botanical illustrations, and sculptures to floral arrangements, film stills, and textiles - and follows a visually stunning sequence with works, regardless of period, thoughtfully paired to allow interesting and revealing juxtapositions between them. Flower follows in the footsteps of Plant, Exploring the Botanical World, which Martha Stewart Living described as "breathtaking."

Featuring large-scale images and accessible texts Flower offers a comprehensive introduction to the subject and includes both much-loved works together with examples that may prove more surprising discoveries, even for specialists. Selected by an international panel of art historians, museum curators, botanists, florists, horticulturalists, and more, works by a diverse range of both lesser-known and iconic artists and image-makers are featured, including: Nobuyoshi Araki, Cecil Beaton, Georg Ehret, David Hockney, Horst P. Horst, Nick Knight, Yayoi Kusama, Leonardo da Vinci, Robert Mapplethorpe, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, Cedric Morris, William Morris, Georgia O'Keeffe, Irving Penn, David Hockney, Pierre-Joseph Redouté, Rachel Ruysch, Constance Spry, and Flora Starkey.

Advisory panel: Lugene B. Bruno, Dr James Compton, Shane Connolly, Anne-Pierre d'Albis-Ganem, Celia Fisher, Susan M. Fraser, Victoria Gaiger, Elizabeth Hammer, Daisy Helman, Catherine Hess, Pascale Heurtel, Dr Lisa Hostetler, Lyndsey Ingram, Professor Dr Hans Walter Lack, Dr Fred G.

Our kid ordered this behind our back
Format: Hardcover
Well funny story…Our 5 year old actually ordered this without us knowing. He loves fgteev and so does his older brother. It had already shipped by the time we noticed (which was impressive because it was only maybe an hour later it shipped out) so we were all ready to give him a talking to and send it back when it arrived. Well that prime shipping was fast but still gave us time to think it over and give him a way to earn this book, as well as have a long talk about how you definitely don’t get on your parents phone and “buy” things. I guess there are worse things he could have ordered and he is passionate about reading at his young age and found a way to do chores around the house to earn it. Needless to say we do not let him use our phones anymore but this was a fun book to read and is a lot more tolerable than actually watching or listening to our kids watch fgteev. Also, be careful 5 year olds can be scary smart. I do not know how he even knew how to go through with searching for and ordering this book all within maybe 5 minutes of “playing a game on daddy’s phone” lol

If your child loves FGTEEV, this book is a MUST HAVE!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Our 8 yr old has been an FGTeeV fan since he was 3! And as a mother of boys that love YouTube, I can say that this channel/family is just all around awesome. I love how family orientated they are, you can feel the love & respect they have for each other. They’re not as annoying for us parents as some of the other channels (if you know, you know!) So when our son wants a book, we buy it! He has the whole collection now! He rereads them all the time. We also have the activity book on preorder. The books are all set up in comic style. So when our son was learning how to read, this made it entertaining for him & easy to digest. There’s a lot of lingo that is based off of FGTeeV’s YouTube channel. I can’t tell you what they’re about, but our son is constantly entertained & proud to show us what is going on in the books. The graphics are a great representation of the family, who are the main characters on YouTube channel & the book… including the dog Oreo! I wish more YouTubers focused on books like this for children. It’s great way to get them off the iPad & get their brains & imagination running!
