Bonsai as Art. Traditions and Innovations, The Art of Display

De Groot, David

500 photos and drawings support Mr. De Groot's in depth discussions of bonsai art and aesthetics, traditional Japanese and Chinese bonsai styles, new naturalistic bonsai styles in the West and elsewhere, and much more. Detailed discussions that cover where technique and art come together; branch structure, deadwood features, initial styling, container selection, refinement, display and collection.
