Summary:

The topics in each chapter are therefore ordered from a wide to a local scale. Variations of the perception of scale allow for a more flexible conception of, for example, what defines a garden, or what can be made visible through both a wider context and closer examination. Using these methods, the chapters investigate topography, maps, time, boundaries and gardens.

Humphry Repton (1752–1818) remains one of England’s most interesting and prolific garden and landscape designers. Renowned for his innovative design proposals and distinctive before-and-after images, captured in his famous "Red Books," Repton’s astonishing career represents the link between the simple parklands of his predecessor Capability Brown and the more elaborate, structured, and formal landscapes of the Victorian age. This lavishly illustrated book, based on a wealth of new research, reinterprets Repton’s life, working methods, and designs, and examines why they proved so popular in a rapidly changing world.

The inner courtyard of a Moroccan house promises refuge from the bustle of the outside world, while remaining in touch with nature. Reached by a dark and winding passage, the courtyard is the physical and spiritual centre of the house. Green vegetation, flowering plants (in the garden-like Riads), and fountains fed by narrow channels of flowing water provide a cool, shaded enclosure. Light from above combines to create a serene and sheltering atmosphere, a peaceful paradise. A venerable tradition, still very much alive. Werner Blaser has captured this marvellous architecture in duotone photos.

This book shows how working with plants emboldened Freud to experiment with style and composition. Seventy-five works--including Two Plants, Bananas, Cyclamen, The Painter's Garden, and Interior at Paddington--reveal Freud's singular approach to plant life. Readers unfamiliar with this aspect of Freud's work will find many similarities to his portraits--earthy palettes, unconventional rawness, and assiduous attention to detail.
