{"product_id":"9780711233614","title":"Flower: Paintings by 40 Great Artists","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a book about flowers and about painters. The author has chosen forty of her favourite flower paintings and as she is both expert gardener and art historian, she has all manner of fascinating things to say about the flowers, the artists and the contexts of the paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManet's Still Life with Rose and Brioche may still hold secrets but it certainly records the arrival of the new hybrid tea rose in all its perfection. Vanessa Bell's Red Hot Pokers and Artichoke came in the wake of Roger Fry's Post-Impressionist exhibitions in London and at a time when Bell had found refuge and creative energy with Duncan Grant at Charleston.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe paintings are not always the most obvious - Van Gogh is here represented by a ravishing branch of almond blossom. But Monet has his waterlilies and Rennie Mackintosh his delicate fritillaries and there is a feast of glorious Dutch bouquets. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is old and new, known and unknown in this wonderful collection. Each painting has been chosen both to delight the eye and to offer a source of lively stories and intriguing facts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lincoln, Frances Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47045714706672,"sku":"9780711233614","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780711233614_p0.jpg?v=1763620038","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780711233614","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
