{"product_id":"the-paper-gardenisbn-9781608196975","title":"The Paper Garden","description":"In 1772, upon the death of her second husband, Mary Delany arose from her grief, picked up a pair of scissors, and, at the age of seventy-two, created a new art form: mixed-media collage. Over the next decade, Mrs. Delany produced an astonishing 985 botanically correct, breathtaking cut-paper flowers, now housed in the British Museum and referred to as the \u003ci\u003eFlora Delanica\u003c\/i\u003e. As she tracks the extraordinary life of Delany-friend of George Frideric Handel and Jonathan Swift-internationally acclaimed poet Molly Peacock weaves in delicate parallels in her own life and, in doing so, creates a profound and beautiful examination of the nature of creativity and art. This gorgeously designed book, featuring thirty-five full-color illustrations, is to be devoured as voraciously as one of the court dinners it describes.","brand":"Ingram Content Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46382810202341,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-paper-gardenisbn-9781608196975","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
