Leaves

Mehr zum Buch

This collection of photographs by the former Life magazine photographer is both a practical identification guide and a rich compendium of stunning prints--most never before published. Beginning with a chapter on identifying leaves of 50 northeastern deciduous trees, Andreas Feininger brings his practiced eye and technical skill to an illuminating study of leaves--their function in the life of the plant, variations in size and form, complex structure, infinite diversity, and aesthetic appeal. 129 pages; 199 b&w reproductions; 9 x 10.75 inches.
