In 2018 the 1000th painting was added to the collection, a pocket handkerchief by Coral Guest. Showcasing the beauty and diversity of the collection, this book features 285 botanical paintings by 144 artists from 36 countries. The paintings are arranged in chapters by geographical origin of the artists, and each artwork is beautifully reproduced on a single page. Many of the artists are from the British Isles but there are also impressive and varied paintings from Japan, Thailand, Brazil, Australia, Russia, South Africa and the United States. The many ways used to create plant portraits are explored in watercolour, pen and ink, oils, diamond point etching on paper, vellum, glass and canvas. An additional chapter features the thousandth painting by Coral Guest, and how this was initiated and added to the collection. Biographies of all the artists featured are provided at the back of the book. 610 20 $a Shirley Sherwood Gallery of Botanic Art $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Botany in art $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Painting, Modern $y 20th century $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Painting, Modern $y 21st century $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Painting $z London $z London $v Catalogs. 941 $a 2 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210504010252.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103023040.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AD51CA9AA55F11EAA027EF1497128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
