Product Description
Considered an important part of interior decoration, a skillfully executed Chinese floral arrangement is equivalent--in the eyes of serious practitioners--to a painting that has been well-designed and balanced in its composition. This book describes that floral art and provides practical suggestions for applying traditional methods in a modern setting. The author focuses on selecting flowers for their nobility, charm, and distinct beauty, while illustrations depict a variety of floral compositions--from a simple display of two artistically arranged twigs to baskets of flowers representing the four seasons. Over 40 handsome illustrations--spanning centuries of Chinese paintings, woodblock prints, porcelains and tapestries--provide exquisite designs from the past. Home decorators, gardeners, florists, and lovers of Oriental art will find this a delightful introduction to flowers and Chinese floral arrangements. Unabridged republication of the edition published by D. Van Nostrand Company, Inc., Princeton, New Jersey, 1956. 42 illustrations.
