New book finds art inspiration in trees
An art gallery owner who found inspiration in a Dr. Seuss bumper sticker is now selling her new coffee table book under a similar name.
‘Speak for the Trees’ is a visual and literary compilation, combining 76 world-renowned artists (David Hockney, Yoko Ono, Mark Ryden, Christo, Jeanne-Claude, Starn Brothers) with quotes from selected writers or visionaries (Einstein, Picasso, Lincoln, Thoreau and Bill Shakespeare).
The four-pound book costs $80 and is available via their Web site.
And in case everyone forgot where the inspiration for the book title came:
I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees.
I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues.
And I’m asking you, sir, at the top of my lungs.
Oh please do not cut down another one.
–Toshio Suzuki
