★一部視覺百科全書，包含許多特意拍攝的植物素描，深入揭示了藝術家在面對植物世界的輝煌時刻所做的即時回應。
儘管在植物藝術的歷史中經常出現高度完工的素描和畫作，但它們背後的準備素描、初步印象以及紙上的創意思考很少被看到──通常一直被隱藏、鎖在角落裡。本書將這些生動的個人化即興記錄帶回台面上，在一系列按主題組織而成的傳記肖像中，本書展現許多引人入勝藝術家的素描作品，他們來自德國、法國、意大利、美國、澳大利亞、日本和中國等多個國家和文化，這些隨手的素描手札包括真正的素描本筆記本、日記、相冊、散頁、羊皮紙、手稿、信件、標本冊和邊緣註解──甚至還有一張畫在信封背面的素描。
翻閱這本書的頁面將是一次重溫非凡經歷、想像失落世界並沉浸於努力和奮鬥中的邀請。
A visual compendium of botanical sketches, many specially photographed, providing a revealing insight into the immediate responses of artists encountering the glories of the plant world
While highly finished drawings and paintings frequently feature in histories of botanical art, the preparatory sketches, first impressions and creative thoughts on paper behind them are rarely seen and have often remained hidden and locked away.
Botanical Sketchbooks brings these personal and vividly spontaneous records gloriously back into the light. In a series of biographical portraits organized thematically into four sections, the book illuminates a range of intriguing characters, from many different countries and cultures, including Germany, France, Italy, America, Australia, Japan and China. Sketchbooks proper are joined by notebooks, journals, albums, loose pieces of paper, works on vellum, manuscripts, letters, herbarium sheets and marginalia – even one drawing on the back of an envelope.
Turning the pages of this book will be an invitation to relive extraordinary experiences, imagine lost worlds, and be immersed in the endeavours, observations and motivations of the makers of such beautiful and enchanting art.
