Desired
for their aesthetic beauty, sought after for their medicinal properties,
harvested for their scents and flavors, or grown as indispensable material
resources, plants are indissolubly entwined with our existence. In art it is
no different: plants have played a critical role. Yet despite their
significant material and conceptual contributions, plants have been sidelined
in the commentary of art historians and critics.
Botanical Revolutions presents a global history of plants in art, focusing on the crucial moments that signaled the formation of new movements and styles, as well as the creation of media that could not have occurred without the involvement of and interaction with the vegetal world. In this fascinating and beautifully illustrated book, author Giovanni Aloi delves deeply into the history and representation of plants in art, advocates for a change in our relationship with the botanical world, and presents an alternative history of art that foregrounds the truly indispensable contributions of plants.
