Prepare to be blown away by the incredulous creativity and imaginations
of 34 acclaimed floral artists from around the globe--Asia, the Middle
East, Europe, North America and South America--as they translate their
artistic ideas and concepts into brilliant floral expressions. You'll
linger over, study, and be forever inspired by every one of the 110
compositions, which range from deceptively simple and small to amazingly
complex and grand. These specially selected artists--the forefront of a
new generation of designers--take you on a creative journey where you
will experience, through their ingenuity, how they are influenced by
their native lands and, for many, the countries they now call home. In
addition, you'll discover how each designer draws upon the inspiration
within him/herself, from nature, architecture, fine arts, a previous
occupation or even a common object like an ice-cream cone. Whatever the
source of their genius, they all have one thing in common: They are
fearless in answering to a higher calling of discovery and raising the
awareness of what floral art can be. This remarkable volume is a
must-have addition to your floral library and is one that you will refer
to over and over again; it's definitely not a "one [look] and done"
book! It's sure to be cherished by lovers of flowers and art
everywhere--so order extras as gifts.
