Best known for his surreal camera obscura pictures and luminous black-and-white photographs of books, photographer Abelardo Morell now turns his transformative lens to one of the most common of artistic subjects, the flower. The concept for Flowers for Lisa emerged when Morell gave his wife, Lisa, a photograph of flowers on her birthday. “Flowers are part of a long tradition of still life in art,” writes Morell. “Precisely because flowers are such a conventional subject, I felt a strong desire to describe them in new, inventive ways.” With nods to the work of Jan Brueghel, édouard Manet, Georgia O’Keeffe, René Magritte, and others, Morell does just that; the images are as innovative as they are arresting.

摄影师 Abelardo Morell 以其超现实主义的暗箱照片和明亮的黑白书籍照片而闻名，现在将他的变革性镜头转向了最常见的艺术主题之一——花朵。Flowers for Lisa 的概念是 Morell 在他的妻子 Lisa 生日那天送给她一张鲜花照片时出现的。“花朵是艺术静物画悠久传统的一部分，”莫雷尔写道。“正是因为花朵是一个如此传统的主题，我强烈渴望以新的、创造性的方式来描述它们。”莫雷尔向扬·勃鲁盖尔、爱德华·马奈、乔治亚·奥基夫、勒内·马格利特等人的作品致敬，做到了这一点;这些图像既具有创新性，又引人注目。
