Overview
After more than twenty-five years photographing celebrities, Lynn Goldsmith turns to a new subject: the flower. Though flowers have been much celebrated, these photographs are startlingly unique. In page after page of sumptuous color photographs, Goldsmith reveals an entirely new and compelling way of experiencing this classic subject. As she explains, "I didn't want to be looking at the flower, I wanted to be in it." Shot in natural light, with a macro lens, from unexpected angles, Goldsmith's photographs are a tribute to the minimalist and abstract expressionist schools.Each of the flowers photographed is identified in an illustrated index, and a foreword by celebrated painter, printmaker, and sculptor Donald Sultan offer insight on Goldsmith's work.
Renowned contemporary artist Donald Sultan has work in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
