Thanks to Steve Roth of The Quarto Group, I am giving away one print copy of ‘The Artist’s Garden: How Gardens Inspired Our Greatest Painters’ by Jackie Bennett.
Description Artist’s Garden by Jackie Bennett
The Artist’s Garden: How Gardens Inspired Our Greatest Painters will feature up to 20 gardens that have inspired and been home to some of the greatest painters of history. These gardens not only supplied the inspiration for creative works but also illuminate the professional motivation and private life of the artists themselves – from Cezanne’s house in the south of France to Childe Hassam at Celia Thaxter’s garden off the coast of Maine.
This book is about the real homes and gardens that inspired these great artists – gardens that can still be visited today. The relationship between artist and garden is a complex one. A few artists, including Pierre Bonnard and his neighbor Monet were keen gardeners, as much in love with their plants as their work, while for others like Sorolla in Madrid, his courtyard home was both a sanctuary and a source of ideas.
