A comprehensive and sumptuous survey that celebrates the beauty and appeal of flowers throughout art, history, and culture

Take a journey across continents and cultures to discover the endless ways artists and image-makers have employed floral motifs throughout history. With 316 color illustrations showcasing the diversity of blooms from all over the world, Flower spans a wide range of styles and media - from art, botanical illustrations, and sculptures to floral arrangements, film stills, and textiles - and follows a visually stunning sequence with works, regardless of period, thoughtfully paired to allow interesting and revealing juxtapositions between them. Flower follows in the footsteps of Plant, Exploring the Botanical World, which Martha Stewart Living described as "breathtaking."

Featuring large-scale images and accessible texts Flower offers a comprehensive introduction to the subject and includes both much-loved works together with examples that may prove more surprising discoveries, even for specialists. Selected by an international panel of art historians, museum curators, botanists, florists, horticulturalists, and more, works by a diverse range of both lesser-known and iconic artists and image-makers are featured, including: Nobuyoshi Araki, Cecil Beaton, Georg Ehret, David Hockney, Horst P. Horst, Nick Knight, Yayoi Kusama, Leonardo da Vinci, Robert Mapplethorpe, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, Cedric Morris, William Morris, Georgia O'Keeffe, Irving Penn, David Hockney, Pierre-Joseph Redouté, Rachel Ruysch, Constance Spry, and Flora Starkey.

Love this and very durable!!
Color: Blue Spider
This spider is HUGE! It's sooooooooo nice! My 3 boys love it! They love chewing on all the legs and it's so big that they can all lay around it and each chew on a leg at the same time! They also play tug of war with it at times! It's stuffed with a cushiony material. It does not bounce. It's lightweight. Has no smell. It's so much fun for my boys! Love it! It has great durability as my one boy who literally destroys all his toys has not broken it and they've had it for 3 months so far! This alone speaks volumes! Highly recommend!

Aggressive chewer (terrier) approved!
Color: Blue Octopus
I would give five stars except for one small area. The back seam was too easy to access to get the squeaker out (literally under half an hour of him playing). ***BUT*** the legs are SO strong and can be used for tug of war and they are crinkly and he loves it. Highly recommend!

Not bad, wish it was more durable
Color: Blue Octopus
My Australian Shepard loved this toy! However, it is NOT VERY DURABLE as advertised. He ripped off a leg within 20 minutes of getting the toy.

GREAT FOR MY LITTLE ADOPTED DOG!
Color: 6 pack
These little soft dog toys are wonderful for small to medium sized dogs. I recently rescued a dog who had never seen a toy, nor did she know how to play with them and these are perfect. She is a 13 pound half Chihuahua/terrier mix, and she loves to play with these little toys. They’re cute to me and she likes them so that makes me happy.
