This is a dazzling, sensuous celebration of color and form by the photographer whom "Architectural Digest" described as 'the love child of Georgia O'Keeffe and Robert Mapplethorpe'.
• 'When I agreed to write an essay for Beane's book', recounts Anthony F. Janson, esteemed curator and professor, 'I had no idea I would be writing about one of the greatest photographers I have ever run across. It was easy enough for me to locate his position in the history of photography and art as a whole. I saw its importance immediately. Such an approach hardly begins to meet the challenge of explaining his work'.
• With intensity, vision, and expressiveness Christopher Beane captures the beauty, and the bizarre, of the botanical. He concentrates on the overlooked detail: the veins of dehydrated petals, the textures of poppy stamens, the infinite compositions vines create, and the multiple layers that constitute a ranunculus.
• In 150 photographs, "Flower" explores the precious and perishable nature of flowers - seed pods burst open, withered leaves curl, and frilly petals unfurl. Anthony F.Janson contributes a rich and engaging overview of the core ideas that define Beane's art, offering the reader a context for thinking about this unique work, while he chronicles its development. A thing of beauty, "Flower" is the gift book everyone will welcome - a testament to the remarkable talent of Christopher Beane and his passionate vision. 7 "Christopher Beane is a superb photographer and his beautiful images in 'Flower' are a delight. Many of the exciting and mouth-watering compositions are cleverly constructed - some must have taken so much patience to prepare - and the flower 'models' are perfect. Attaining this level of photography and lighting requires much skill and very few have been able to achieve it. Personally, I have found this beautifully printed book a total inspiration and would recommend it to any serious photographer."
"The photographs of exotic flowers in this book are more than amazing...I cannot find the words to describe these incredible images. They appear at first glance to be paintings, close ups of the intricate parts which make up a bloom....the colours alone are extraordinary.
The photographs stand alone.....there is no need for a commentary...."
