Of Gardens and Their Images
Gardens make us happy. Renowned author and historian Hans von Trotha knows why: they are the only art form that appeals to all the senses. The garden is the format in which humanity's relationship with nature is represented and realized. It forms a microcosm that reflects the state of human society. In this attractive illustrated book, von Trotha shows what gardens can tell us and how they do this: by combining all other art forms - from painting and sculpture to architecture and design, literature, music, technology, cookery, and, of course, biology and botany. The author describes the garden as an all-encompassing medium, a magnificent synthesis of the arts that creates truly virtual realities. He uses a wealth of historical images to illustrate how the garden took shape, how it was perceived, and how important it was and still is in society today.
