简介

一块土地、一处休闲胜地、一处正式的景观、一处工作场所：花园与个人、社区和文化等有着一系列的联系。从古地中海到文艺复兴时期的欧洲，从日本的江户时代到中国的清朝，再到今天，《花园与想象》探讨了花园如何在数千年来一直是艺术灵感的源泉。这本内容丰富的作品取材自波士顿美术博物馆的藏品，既有花园的标志性表现，也有跨越各种媒介、时代和文化的不为人知的描绘。全书按主题组织，以文章探讨人类通过耕种、护理和劳动来影响、掌握和庆祝自然世界的冲动，同时探索无数艺术家如何将这种现象转化为自己的视觉美学。

Artistic representations of gardens across history, cultures and mediums, featuring work by such disparate artists as Hokusai, Claude Monet and Hilary Pecis. A plot of land, a relaxing retreat, a formal landscape, a place of work: gardens carry a range of associations for individuals, communities and cultures alike. Spanning from the ancient Mediterranean to Renaissance Europe to the Edo period in Japan to the Qing dynasty in China to today, Gardens and Imagination considers how gardens have remained a source of artistic inspiration for millennia. Drawn from the holdings of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, this lush volume features both iconic representations of gardens as well as undersung depictions across a range of mediums, eras and cultures. Thematically organized, Gardens and Imagination features essays that probe the human impulse to influence, master and celebrate the natural world through cultivation, care and labor—all while exploring how countless artists have translated this phenomenon into their own visual aesthetics.
