Flowers exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery
I went along to the Saatchi Gallery to see the Flowers exhibition today, it was an exploration of the many flowers, incorporating different techniques, media and scale. It covers the love of flowers from the boom of Dutch Flower painting in the 17th and 18th centuries to the 19th century Arts & Crafts movement which incorporated floral design in to paintings, architecture, books, furniture and decorative arts and everyday life, as well as how flowers have been used by contemporary artists.. Here are some of my favourite works of art from the exhibition.
