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.

Worked well. Try it.
Size: 8.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This stuff did help my dry hands. I still struggle with dry hands a bit but compared to softsoap it is much better. Expensive but worth it and cheaper than going to the dermatologist.

Great soap will buy again
Size: 8.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Super gentle on my cracked and dried hands! Love the foaming soap and the pump, gentle for my kids hands and love that it’s fragrance free, very effective my hands feel clean and smell clean and have been so much more hydrated since using it. Highly recommend. Wish it came in a bigger bottle

Made my Hands Extremely Dehydrated and caused a bad Eczema flare up.
Size: 8.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I tried so hard to like this Hand Soap and used it for about a month, and I thought it was working at first, but I ended up finding out that it was actually making my hands drier and was making them crack more, as well as flaring up my eczema X10. The soap does clean, but it definitely strips any moisture from the top of your hands and the palms. It made my skin super rough. I was even lotioning up after, and the dryness was still very prominent. As for the scent, I felt that it had almost no scent. My fiance, who didn't have any issues with dryness or eczema on his hands, developed very dry skin due to this hand soap, and we found out 100% that it was this hand soap once we switched to another. I know it has worked for some, but I personally wouldn't recommend it, and I don't think it is worth the price.
