Gardiens du silence: Evocation poétique des arbres

Edited by Nathalie Chaix, Edited by Laura Salvadori





This title is going to reprint. Please check again soon.


| book description |

Trees and forests are often described as guardians of silence, sentinels of humanity, and wonderful representatives of the plant world. What makes the fascination of trees? How have artists of the past depicted them, and how do women artists represent them today? This French-language book takes an unusual look at these indispensable creatures of nature. Artistic representations from six centuries — including paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, and photographs — demonstrate their beauty and magic. The images are complemented by poems written especially for an exhibition at the Musée Jenisch in Vevey, Switzerland, and for this coinciding, beautifully designed volume. Together they form a visual-poetic walk, enabling the reader to experience the forest as a mirror, a refuge, and a source of almost unlimited material and metaphorical inspiration. Text in French.
