A fascinating and uplifting celebration of the joys of spring through several centuries of art.
This inspiring book presents some of the most beautiful, transformative, and amusing expressions of spring pulled from the renowned collections of Tate. Divided into key themes – 'Blossom and Blooms', 'Into the Landscape', 'In the Garden', 'Agriculture', 'Rebirth' and 'Uprising' – this book considers how the traditional season of growth and rebirth has influenced artists over centuries.
Paintings, drawings, sculptures, illustrations, and installations are accompanied by brief captions adding background detail or additional information about the art, the artists, and their subjects. Spanning several centuries, and featuring a variety of artists from Barbara Hepworth and Patrick Heron to Damien Hirst and Natalia Goncharova, this elegant gift book celebrates the joys of the spring season through art.
