Description

Bloom presents the flower as art - water lilies, daffodils, irises, tulips, roses - all in exquisite detail and vivid colour. From the palest powder-pink of a Helleborus x hybridus to the deepest, almost-black burgundy of Papaver 'Black Cloud' and the lemon-lime hues of a Hippeastrum, van Dongen captures the essence of a world in bloom. For lovers of flowers, fine art photography or both, Bloom is a collection like no other. Celebrated for his spectacular black and white floral still life prints, with BLOOM Ron van Dongen offers us his first collection in colour. And what colour it is. Van Dongen's masterful eye captures images of natural beauty that are so intense and elegant as to be almost reverential.
