The photographer who produced the lusciously detailed images of blossoms in One Hundred Flowers returns here to find the sensuous beauty of leaves and fruits. From fiddlehead ferns to thorny teasel seeds, motley maple leaves to the flame-like layers of a sliced red onion, Foliage contains 100 large photographs in saturated color on black backgrounds, at times reminiscent of the finest horticultural paintings of centuries ago. In Foliage, Harold Feinstein returns to the natural forms that he chronicled in One Hundred Flowers. An introduction by popular gardening author Sydney Eddison explores the cultural significance of plants while revealing the subtle ways in which they touch our daily lives. Her introduction, along with text by horticulture expert Greg Piotrowski, makes Foliage as practical and informative, as it is beautiful.
