Product Description
Product Description
British gardens, from the historic to the most contemporary, have long been a source of inspiration for artists. The lovely works featured in "Art of the Garden span three centuries and range in media from traditional watercolors and oils to digitally enhanced photography and installation art. Turner, Constable, Bacon, Freud, Hume, Quinn: all of these artists have, at some point, returned to this most beloved of subjects and explored it in their individual way.
A unique mix of authors has contributed to the book, examining subjects as varied as the cross-fertilization between painting and design in the work of key garden designers and radical new takes on the garden in the work of contemporary artists. The book also features a gazetteer of artists' gardens, including those of James Tissot, Barbara Hepworth, Patrick Heron, Ian Hamilton Finlay, and Derek Jarman.

I went to see the exhibition when it was on in Manchester and it was an excellent put together show. The book is very good with full colour pictures and even a beautifully written introduction to Art and gardens throughout the years. Well worth the money.
