The beauty of the flower : the science and art of botanical illustration / Stephen A. Harris. by Harris, Stephen A., author. London, UK : Reaktion Books, 2023. Subjects Plants in art -- History.   Botanical illustration -- History. ISBN:  9781789147803 (hardcover) : 1789147808 (hardcover) Description:  328 pages : illustrations (some color) ; 26 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  In a world flooded with images designed to create memories, validate perceptions and influence others, botanical illustration is about creating technically accurate depictions of plants. Reproductions of centuries-old botanical illustrations frequently adorn greetings cards, pottery and advertising, to promote heritage or generate income, yet their art is scientific: its purpose is to record, display and transmit scientific data. The Beauty of the Flower shows us how scientific botanical illustrations are collaborations among artists, scientists and publishers. It explores the evolution and interchanges of these illustrations since the mid-fifteenth century, the ways in which they have been used to communicate scientific ideas about plants and how views of botanical imagery change. Featuring unique images rarely seen outside of specialist literature this book reveals the fascinating stories behind these remarkable illustrations.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 704.9434 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books 704.9434 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList
