Amazon.com description: Product Description:
An accomplished Scottish poet, writer, artist, and gardener, Finlay infused his garden designs with his distinct aesthetic philosophy and poetic sensibility. John Dixon Hunt situates his analysis of Finlayâs gardens in the context of that broader philosophy and poetic work, drawing on Finlayâs writings about the art and practice of garden design. From the Max Planck Institute in Stuttgart to the University of California at San Diego campus, the book documents how Finlay built an oeuvre of international renownâultimately arguing that Finlayâs innovations are best understood in the context of the long tradition of European gardens.
Though Ian Hamilton Finlayâs (1925â2006) famous work, Little Sparta, was voted the most important work of Scottish art, his influenceâand worksâis found worldwide. Nature Over Again reveals the story behind Finlayâs renowned horticultural works, presenting the first study that examines all of his garden designs and âinterventions.â
