Synopsis
When nature and art merge, brilliant and unexpected things can happen. Here, in conjunction with photographer/editor Christopher Makos, breakout artist Paul Solberg has created an astonishing collection of photographs. Solberg's 'Bloom' takes an oft-visited subject - flowers - and approaches it from a new, bold angle. Working in a still-life, studio format, Solberg created sumptuous floral portraits detailing living entities. He captured the flowers at the moment of their most extraordinary beauty: when they are first blossoming. The reader will simultaneously see the static quality and ongoing nature of the living bloom: In almost three-dimensional work, the photo effervesces with tranquility. Unlike the catalogue-esque quality of many books dedicated to flowers, Bloom is not bogged down with saccharin sentimentality, and its images are crafted with precision and clarity. Paul Solberg is a photographic version of Georgia O'Keeffe as he turns petals into organic sculpture, blooms into modern architecture and curving stems into Balanchine dancers.

Review
'Paul Solberg is the most modern photographer in America.' --Christopher Makos
Synopsis
A COLLECTION OF SOME OF THE MOST COMPELLING IMAGES OF FLOWERS AND THEIR FORMS EVER TAKEN In BLOOM, photographer Paul Solberg has created a sumptuous portraiture of flowers that at once shows them as living entities yet captures for all time the moment of their most extraordinary beauty. Solberg's photographs combine the fleeting beauty and ongoing nature of the living bloom in moments of tranquillity that brings the flowers to life. White has been chosen as the ground for these wonderful portraits that range from English Roses to rare Cattleya Orchids. One hundred portraits capture the superlative beauty of nature itself, as seen through the lens of a new entrant to the field of fine art photography. Beautifully manufactured, with a preface by New York style maestro Ralph Pucci, and working with Christopher Makos as editor and second "eye" on the project - and with all of the innovative design and editorial experience in the visual arts that he brings to the subject - Solberg's blooms overwhelm and entrance anyone looking for a new view on a popular subject. With gallery shows and exhibitions on the horizon, Paul Solberg's first statement couldn't be stronger.
This book will be the first of many to capture his artistry, innovation and raw talent."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
