La Tentation des fleurs

Editions Assouline, 271 pages, 2016, French, English, reissued 2019 

 

Journalist and art critic, Sixtine Dubly investigated the return of flowers abroad and the emergence of the Living in contemporary art. La Tentation des fleurs hypothesizes an artistic revolution through the earth, from a culture of still life to that of living nature.

 

For about ten years, Anglo-Saxon countries have begun a horticultural renaissance that makes visible once again the essential role of flowers in our ecosystems. The book traces in parallel the place of flowers in the history of art and its current metamorphosis by artists and creators (fashion, gastronomy, perfume). An ongoing floral evolution that takes up the thread of a French art of living largely shaped by the flower, crossing yesterday, as tomorrow, its artistic vision and its horticultural richness.urnaliste et critique d’art,
