The Rose Book - Opracowanie zbiorowe - książka
Producent: Phaidon Press
A stunning visual exploration delves into our lasting fascination with the rose, a flower cherished worldwide. This carefully curated compilation showcases over 200 breathtaking images, illustrating the rose's influence across eras and cultures, from garden settings to wider societal impacts. We see roses in various forms, such as Dior's couture designs, rose-themed Barbies, ancient mosaics, and Victorian Valentine cards. With 220 remarkable visuals, "The Rose Book" presents a spectrum mirroring the plant’s diversity—from wild varieties to cultivated Hybrid Teas, botanical art to fashion design, and fragrance to fine art. The works of renowned individuals like Pierre-Joseph Redouté, Christian Dior, Georgia O’Keeffe, Irving Penn, Tiffany & Co., Alexander McQueen, and Vincent van Gogh are thoughtfully combined to highlight fascinating contrasts. Engaging essays discuss the flower's rich gardening history, its significant fashion presence, and the legendary use of rose scent in fragrances. Additionally, the book offers a rose glossary by Michael Marriott and an epilogue by Shane Connolly. As an emblem of beauty and love, a political and religious icon, or a cherished ornamental plant with myriad cultivars, the rose holds considerable cultural sway from Ancient Greece to the present day.
