  | Book Details Title: Botanical Inspiration: Nature in Art and Illustration |
Book DescriptionA world without plants is a world without life, both literally and figuratively. Besides forming the very basis of human survival on Earth, they are also an important source of creative inspiration, ingenuity, and expression. From scientific explorers like Sir Joseph Banks who travelled across the globe in search of never-seen before species to impressionist painters like Édouard Manet who sought to capture the subtle beauty of everyday objects, many artists and illustrators have used flora as a powerful means to convey the essence of our very existence. Botanical Inspiration is a timeless collection of artwork and illustrations that feature flora and its many facets through a variety of visual concepts, styles, and techniques. It speaks to lovers of both nature and creativity as a universal language in itself, thoughtfully interpreted by some of today’s most intriguing and interesting talents. Customers Review: A nice book, but did not look at the dimensions. I thought this would be a coffee table type of volume – large and with glossy/thick pages, especially because of the cost. But it’s quite a bit smaller and lighter than what I thought it would be and the pages feel a little cheap and are a matte finish. It’s definitely easy to pick up and look through, but not really what I was expecting for the price.
