The renewed landscape gave crowded, displaced urban dwellers green spaces to enjoy, while suburbanites and country-dwellers began cultivating their own flower gardens. As public engagement with gardening grew, artists increasingly featured flowers and parks in their work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublic Parks, Private Gardens\u003c\/i\u003e includes masterworks by artists such as Bonnard, Cassatt, C騷anne, Corot, Daumier, Van Gogh, Manet, Matisse, Monet, and Seurat. Many of these artists were themselves avid gardeners, and they painted parks and gardens as the distinctive scenery of contemporary life. Writing from the perspective of both a distinguished art historian and a trained landscape designer, Colta Ives provides new insights not only into these essential works, but also into this extraordinarily creative period in France's history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished by The Metropolitan Museum of Art\/Distributed by Yale University Press \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (03\/12\/18-07\/29\/18)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Colta Ives\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1588395847\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781588395849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Metropolitan Museum of Art New York\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 9.30w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2018","brand":"Colta Ives","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44078458667263,"sku":"9781588395849","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d4226874-a6c8-4e76-b8d4-12613d3fa62d.jpg?v=1685475635","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/public-parks-private-gardens-colta-ives-9781588395849","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
