Bas Meeuws : flower pieces : a photographic journey around the world (from the library of Criss Canning)

Belgium : Lannoo, 2019. Quarto, flushcut illustrated boards, edges stained black, pp. 351, illustrated.

‘Bas Meeuws’ photographs are of an old-fashioned beauty and at the same time radically contemporary. Flower by flower he composes his still lifes, but digitally: the basis for Meeuws’ monumental works are digital photographs of individual flowers. They nod to the Dutch masters of the 17th-century with their love of luxury, but also their eye for the ephemeral. Meeuws struck a chord in the art world with his floral still lifes. He is represented by Dutch and Taiwanese galleries and exhibits from Amsterdam to New Delhi. AUTHOR: Bas Meeuws is a passionate Dutch photographer. Since 2010 he has devoted himself to updating the traditional and very Dutch genre of flower still life using digital photography. ‘ – the publisher
