The Art of the Flower: The Floral Still Life from the 17th to the 20th Century

By Kunsthalle Bielefeld

The "flower piece" has existed as an art genre since the 16th century, but for decades the floral still life was considered unworthy of artists' attention because of its alleged superficiality and bourgeois banality. But now in the nineties, this old motif is enjoying a revival. ART OF THE FLOWER places the genre in its historical perspective.
