This gift book brings together watercolors and poetry in a celebration of one of the most enduring topics-flower symbolism. Chinese artist Fu Ji Tsang, painting with an unconventional mixture of watercolor, Chinese ink, and calligraphy, unites the traditions of East and West with the influence of such masters as Matisse and Monet. The pages spring to life through the bamboo, lotus flowers, irises, orchids, plum trees, cypress trees, and other plants rendered in an explosion of color. Organized by season, the flowers are accompanied by inspirational poems, personal reflections, historical references, and myths surrounding and explaining their symbolic significances.
