The Book of the Tree is a celebration of trees in art featuring works

*The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only
a green thing that stands in the way.*William Blake
From stately old oaks to beautiful forests and woods, trees have
provided a source of inspiration for artists throughout history.
This charming gift book presents a selection of some of the most
beautiful artworks inspired by trees. Interspersed throughout the
illustrations are short texts about the artists and their interest in
particular trees, from Egon Shiele's delicate watercolors of chestnut
trees, to Rousseau's exotic forests, Claire Cansick's vivid woodlands
and Hockney's tree-lined groves.
The Book of the Tree presents a wonderful collection of arboreal art
that revels in the enduring beauty of our trees, woodlands and forests.
It is the perfect gift for art-lovers, tree-lovers and nature-lovers.
