Dazzling and exciting or delicate and inconspicuous – flowers inspire us with their color and variety. There are many discoveries to be made and even more for the artist to sketch onto paper.
Taking a stroll through the garden, noticing the order in the disorder, capturing the beauty and the essence of blooming plants – what a weekly delight for the five artists Friederike Joens, Claudia Ibler, Doris Pfeiffer, Antje Schöpf, und Tatjana Brenner at the Botanical Garden in Munich.
Plants accompany mankind as medicine, as food, as recreational drugs or as symbol. Mankind has a long and intensive history with flowers.
