Summary:
These aerial shots of ancient and modern labyrinths and mazes offer a perspective on an age-old phenomenon, and an opportunity to better understand its meaning. Allegories for life's uncertainty, labyrinths and mazes are ancient symbols that echo our own spiritual quests, transformations, and yearnings to find the right path. Jurgen Hohmuth used a custom-made camera attached to a miniature dirigible to photograph the labyrinths and mazes in this stunning book. The resulting low-altitude aerial photographs capture in astonishing detail the designs, textures, and settings that make each structure unique. Presented in large full-colour images, these gems of architectural landscaping take all forms and sizes, comprising an endless variety of materials: mosaics, cornstalks, sunflowers, stones, even beer crates. Laden with history, some labyrinths and mazes date back to the Bronze Age; grace the floors of medieval cathedrals; and spring up from the lawns of country estates. Modern incarnations are found in amusement parks, farmers' fields, and traffic circles. Lending depth to Hohmuth's photographs are brief essays from experts in the field, including Adrian Fisher, the world's foremost designer of labyrinths and mazes, as well as an innovative layout design that echoes the spirit of the labyrinth.

L'approche de Jacques Wirtz se concrétise par la maîtrise de l'entièreté du processus de conception et de création des jardins : culture des plantes et des fleurs, conception puis exécution des jardins, entretien. Artiste inclassable, sa démarche combine un souci constant d'innovation et l'utilisation d'un langage intemporel d'essence classique. Loin des modes du moment, il conçoit son art comme une activité artisanale ou' la connaissance des plantes, de leurs qualités et de leur évolution permet des compositions qui ne laissent rien au hasard. Ce livre, abondamment illustré, permet de découvrir les grands thèmes et le langage formel développés par Wirtz. Un chapitre particulier est consacré aux projets des jardins des Tuileries et au jardin du Carrousel à Paris, la commande publique la plus importante qu'il ait reçu.

Summary:
In this book, Maureen Carroll examines the most recent evidence of the existence of ancient gardens, the horticultural practices used to plant and maintain them, and the many forms and functions they assumed. Surveying the ancient Near East, Egypt, Greece, Italy, and the provinces of the Roman Empire from the second millennium B.C. to the middle of the first millennium A.D., Carroll finds that whether grown as sources of food, symbols of wealth and prestige, or dwellings for the gods, the cultivation of gardens played an integral role in both the public and private spheres of the ancient world. She concludes with a chapter on the survival of ancient gardening traditions in the Islamic and Byzantine worlds and the ways in which gardens have figured in these cultures' perceptions and depictions of paradise. Culling evidence from a wide variety of archaeological, textual, and pictorial sources, and illustrated with images from tomb and wall paintings, sculptural reliefs, manuscripts, and reconstructions, Carroll provides fascinating insights into the earthly paradises of antiquity.

Price:

Summary:
This volume examines the garden as an enduring and evolving cultural resource, in two hundred works by more than one hundred artists. Prints, drawings, photographs, and paintings illuminate the changing aesthetics and uses of gardens from sixteenth-century Italian villas and Louis XIV's Versailles to urban parks like New York City's Central Park and San Francisco's Crissy Field, adapted from a former military base. Artists' representations of gardens have been organized first to highlight design concepts and individual features, then to focus on historic gardens and parks, and finally to survey the activities within those settings. Among the earliest works included is an engraving of a drawing made in 1570 by Pieter Bruegel the Elder of a garden being vigorously cultivated by many workers. Two centuries later, Giovanni Battista Piranesi and Jean-Honore Fragonard represented the Villa d'Este at Tivoli in a state of neglected grandeur; Hubert Robert's painting of Mereville depicted a garden he helped design. By 1900 Eugene Atget's photographs of Versailles and Camille Pissarro's paintings of the Tuileries convey the enduring structure of French formal gardens. In contrast, American artists Maurice Prendergast, John Singer Sargent, and James McNeill Whistler depicted the pleasures of social activities in that setting. Photographs by Michael Kenna and Bruce Davidson offer contemporary perspectives on these issues.
