The Book of the Tree: Trees in Art

From stately old oaks to beautiful forests and woods, The Book of the Tree is a collection of depictions of trees by artists, photographers and illustrators. Interspersed throughout the illustrations are short texts about the artists and their interest in particular trees, from Egon Shiele’s delicate watercolours of chestnut trees, to Rousseau’s exotic forests and Hockney’s tree-lined groves. A wonderful collection for both art-lovers and lovers of the great outdoors.
