BOOK OF THE TREE: TREES IN ART

A celebration of trees in art featuring works by some of the world's leading artists, photographers and illustrators. From stately old oaks to beautiful forests and woods, trees have provided a source of inspiration for artists throughout history. This charming gift book presents a selection of some of the most beautiful artworks inspired by trees, such as Egon Schiele's delicate watercolours of chestnut trees, Rousseau's exotic forests and Claire Cansick's vivid woodlands. Interspersed with the illustrations are short texts about the artists and their interest in particular trees.
