Lynne Howarth-Gladston, a trained botanical illustrator and scholar, re-examines North's working methods, which extend beyond those of conventional botanical illustration, and discusses North's painterly techniques, in addition to her use of photography. The book situates North both as an unconventional botanical painter and as a technically progressive artist who melded differing stylistic approaches, techniques and media from both scientific and aesthetic perspectives. The study presents North as a progressive, multi-faceted individual who was rooted in the complex circumstances of her own time. Yet it also reveals how her legacy continues to resonate with the concerns of the present day, such as contemporary intersections between art and science, artistic uses of multi-media, feminism, and climate change. Drawing on North's travel writing as well as her visual record, the book offers a unique view of one of the most intriguing figures in the history of botanical art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848226258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160","brand":"Lynne Howarth-Gladston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44589882966197,"sku":"9781848226258","price":42.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0571bf29-515f-4b3f-a424-7656cf5cfe53.jpg?v=1724733883","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/marianne-north-a-victorian-painter-for-the-21st-century-9781848226258","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
