Customer Reviews

A beautiful book for anyone who loves imagery.

I bought this book for the love of my life and she seemed to love it. The pictures are detailed beyond reason and you can't help but sit and stare at each picture while you slowly make your way through the book. I got it as an inspiration for her to paint, but I am even thinking about getting a copy for myself. This book is so beautiful, A+. If you are an artist or just care at all, buy this book.

PERFECT COMPANION TO "THE INFINITE ROSE"

"In teaching photography, my basic instruction is `When your mouth drops open, click the shutter!'" - Harold Feinstein Feinstein continues to say the tulips he photographed for this book gave him many mouth-dropping moments. Once you see them, you'll understand. Feinstein photographs the traditional shaped tulip, the fringed edged, and those resembling the shapes of roses. Each is brilliant in color and sometimes adjusted to appear even more flamboyant. I found the wildness of the Double Circus Parrot intriguing, the Green Wave Parrot daring, and the Family Cluster beautiful. Spring Green, the side view and the multi tulip shot are my absolute favorites, and the Easter tulip reminds me of an oil painting. Tulips begin the growing season, and maybe that's why I like to think of them as a sign of renewal. Beautiful heads of color and design waving in the breeze can be inspiring. Besides impressing me as art, _The Infinite Tulip_ reminds me of spring, Easter, and gardening. When you fill that Easter or gardening basket for your parents or friends, consider including "The Infinite Tulip."
