Items related to Wild Flowers
"Snowdon's wild flowers are arranged images taken in the studio, where the photographer hasn't held back from bending a stem or plucking off an aesthetically offending petal in pursuit of the perfect picture. So, in one sense, these are invented flowers. They evoke, too, the traditional role of flowers, interpreted and idealized as geometric constructs, in the history of ornament. In this way, Snowdon's wild flowers are neither an accurate botanical record nor an environmentalist's plea for their preservation. Rather, they are explorations of form, line, color, and texture which move strongly in the direction of graphic textile design. They recall inevitably the work of people like William Morris. The result of this exploration of part of the realm of nature cannot be described as anything other than delightful." -Sir Roy Strong, from the Foreword-

From the Inside Flap:
ed portrait photographer Snowdon turns the same keen eye he habitually focuses on people to flowers found growing wild in hedges, fields, and meadows. These close-up studies of 39 wild flowers are paired with charming stories detailing the personality of each plant, its significance in folklore, and information about its physical characteristics. 39 color photos.
