This fully-illustrated examination of Van Gogh's preoccupation with painting flowers draws upon the artist's own letters to describe his subject matter and to show the extraordinary importance that flowers and plants had on his life and his work.
This is a photographic study of the balance, harmony and form of the wild flowers found in hedgerows, fields and meadows. The accompanying text looks at the characteristics of the flowers and the folklore and traditions associated with them.
