  Introduces an original take on floral design that teaches us to see the world anew

  Based on Lindsey Taylor’s popular Wall Street Journal column ‘Flower School,’ on its surface this book demonstrates how Taylor creates stunning but achievable floral arrangements inspired by works of art. Riffing on works by a diversity of artists across mediums, periods, and styles, including Alice Neel, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Julie Mehretu, Sheila Hicks, Willem de Kooning, Georgia O’Keeffe, Frank Stella, Salman Toor, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Kerry James Marshall, among others, Taylor inspires readers to interpret the palettes, compositions, brushstrokes, and mood of the art in flowers, and shares florists’ trade secrets for building beautiful arrangements. Through this meditative practice of looking intently at art and nature, readers learn, in the words of David Hockney, ‘to really look,’ and to really see the world.

  Review

  ‘Required reading.’ – Gardenista
  ‘Readable and remarkably instructive . . . It is also art in its own right with full-page images of the artworks and the arrangements . . . Lindsey Taylor writes so beautifully that her text complements the art, the flowers, and the spectacular photography. Even those who suffer from fear of flower arranging will want the book. Holiday gift giving solved!’ – Garden Club of America’s The Bulletin

  ‘A veritable garden of inspiration.’ – Vanity Fair

  ‘[A] must-read book of fall . . . features 40 of [Taylor’s] exquisite creations paired with the artwork from which they were inspired and accompanied by thoughtful descriptions of her process.’ – Town & Country

  ‘This beautiful book by Lindsey Taylor evokes an amazing sensibility to see profound possibilities in flowers – possibilities that so many of the world's great artists have seen and displayed on canvas and through sculpture over the ages. Art in Flower is a work of art in itself.' – Martha Stewart, Founder, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia

  ‘Lindsey Taylor is a gifted gardener with exquisite taste. Art in Flower brings together her many talents and is as engaging as it is inspiring.’ – Glenn D. Lowry Director, The Museum of Modern Art
