内容简介：

花卉是整个艺术史上常年流行的主题。二十多年来，瑞士摄影师安娜·哈尔姆·舒德尔（Anna Halm Schudel）一直将目光聚焦在花朵上，放大花萼、雌蕊和叶脉，创造出充满活力的色彩盛宴。在庆祝自然和人类修为给我们带来的各种形状和大小的同时，Schudel对腐烂的过程同样着迷。随着花朵的凋谢、枯萎和凋零，她将它们在水下变成奇异而引人注目的美丽图像，将它们精致的美丽与激动人心的纪念品相结合。八十个惊人的美丽色板辅以两篇文章，这些文章考察了舒德尔的象征意义，并将她的作品与花卉静物的历史放在一起。与主题本身一样精致，这本设计精美的大书肯定会激发人们对这位冉冉升起的瑞士艺术家的欣赏。

"Flowers are a perennially popular motif throughout art history. And for good reason: Lush with texture and color, a living bouquet of blooms can be made to communicate much through the masterly brushstrokes of Vincent Van Gogh or Georgia O’Keeffe, in the hands of a skilled ikebana artist or through the lens of contemporary photography.

For more than two decades, Swiss photographer Anna Halm Schudel has focused her eye on flowers, zooming in on calyxes, pistils, and leaf veins to create exuberant feasts of colors. While celebrating the wide variety of shapes and sizes that nature and human cultivation have brought us, Schudel is no less fascinated by the process of decay. As the flowers fade, wilt, and wither, she transforms them under water into images of strange, compelling beauty, combining their delicate beauty with a stirring memento mori. Eighty strikingly beautiful color plates are complemented by two essays that examine Schudel’s symbolism and put her work in context with the history of the floral still life.

As exquisite as the subject itself, this beautifully designed large book is sure to inspire appreciation for this rising Swiss artist."
