In Art and the Gardener , Gordon Hayward's tenth book on garden design, he makes a radical departure from his earlier approaches in order to explore elements of visual language across two artistic disciplines - fine painting and garden design - in hopes that the remarkable crosscurrents will help reveal how to design or simply appreciate your garden with greater acuity. In celebrating the visual language garden designers share with painters and artists such as Thomas Cole, Camille Pissarro, Piet Mondrian, Paul Cezanne, Claude Monet, Henri Matisse, Gustav Klimt, Vincent van Gogh, and many others, Hayward explains how, by looking at fine paintings you admire, you can more carefully choose your garden style, the relationship between house and garden, the overall composition, specific design principles, roles trees play in the garden, colour, and how to bring it all together.
