Description

Flora Photographica brings together over 120 leading photographers who have redefined flower imagery in contemporary photography. From bold and unexpected to classic still life, flowers have been a central focus throughout photography's history. This comprehensive overview showcases the innovative approaches of today's photographers, while also exploring the rich traditions of floral art and photography. The book features works by renowned photographers such as Cindy Sherman, Thomas Ruff, Vik Muniz, Valérie Belin, Viviane Sassen, and Martin Schoeller, among others. Nine thematic chapters provide a diverse range of perspectives on flower photography, from botanical studies to surrealist collage and montage. Two in-depth essays by curators William A. Ewing and Danaé Panchaud offer insight into the relationship between contemporary works and the long history of floral art. With its extensive collection of photographs and thought-provoking essays, Flora Photographica is a valuable resource for anyone interested in photography and the creative ways that flowers have been depicted over time.
