Fall 2020 Literary Series: Biweekly Webinars - Larry Lederman
Garden Portraits: Experiences of Natural Beauty, a painterly collection of sixteen magnificent and diverse landscapes, is the sixth botanical photography book from Larry Lederman, the photographer of the New York Botanical Garden. The garden founders and stewards are a distinguished group. Included are philanthropist Lewis Cullman, jazz great Dave Brubeck, Arne Glimcher, founder of Pace Gallery, the late Anne Bass, and the late Edward Merrin, who was a preeminent dealer in classical antiquities.
The book’s foreword is written by Gregory Long, president emeritus of the New York Botanical Garden, who observes: “Lederman visits the gardens in all seasons, in all weather, at many times of day, in many light conditions. He wants to analyze their design and study their character. He wants to know their plants and see their environmental conditions and visual elements from many points of view. He walks the paths, forward and backward, and stops. Lederman’s garden portraits are visual tone poems inspired by places he has come to love.”
Join us for this webinar, the fifth in the Garden Conservancy's Fall 2020 Literary Series of biweekly webinars, as Larry discusses his new book.
