{"product_id":"9781606069479","title":"Botanical Revolutions : How Plants Changed the Course of Art by Giovanni Aloi","description":"Desired  for their aesthetic beauty, sought after for their medicinal properties,  harvested for their scents and flavors, or grown as indispensable material  resources, plants are indissolubly entwined with our existence. In art it is  no different: plants have played a critical role. Yet despite their  significant material and conceptual contributions, plants have been sidelined  in the commentary of art historians and critics.           Botanical Revolutions  presents a global history of plants in art, focusing on the crucial moments  that signaled the formation of new movements and styles, as well as the  creation of media that could not have occurred without the involvement of and  interaction with the vegetal world. In this fascinating and beautifully  illustrated book, author Giovanni Aloi delves deeply into the history and  representation of plants in art, advocates for a change in our relationship  with the botanical world, and presents an alternative history of art that  foregrounds the truly indispensable contributions of plants.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56419962814837,"sku":"9781606069479","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781606069479","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
