“Metropolitan Flowers” Book
“Metropolitan Flowers”, 1982. Here is a dazzling bouquet selected entirely from the Museum's collections-flowers by Rembrandt, Monet, van Gogh, Degas, Matisse; flowers in Chinese paintings and Japanese prints; flowers in medieval tapestries and Persian manuscripts; flowers in silk, in porcelain, and in mother-of-pearl; flowers that are purely decorative and flowers that have symbolic meaning. Artists the world over have been captivated by the beauty of flowers— from the exquisite orchid that requires patient cultivation, to the poppies that grow wild in the field— and, by recording them for us, they have transformed the evanescent into the enduring.
