Publisher's Synopsis
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.
