He is known among horticulturists as one of the greatest breeders of delphiniums who ever called the gods' wrath down on a burrowing star-nosed mole.\" For over sixty years, the pioneering American photographer Edward Steichen spent most of his spare time--and money--nurturing plants and gardens. It was an activity that sustained and inspired him, and through which he developed ardently held intellectual precepts regarding the interrelationship of creativity, nature, and art. \u003ci\u003eEdward Steichen and the Garden\u003c\/i\u003e explores Steichen's artistic practice and his engagement with nature, gardening, and plant breeding, bringing to light the many ways in which the two pursuits were closely allied. The book's abundant illustrations feature paintings and photographs by Steichen and fellow artists who painted in his garden, including Arthur B. Carles, John Marin, Katharine Rhoades, and Marion Beckett.
