Chromatic HerbariumMaurizio Corraini s.r.l.
Massimo Gardone, together with Alessandra Muran, has created a volume that is many things: a living and vivid herbarium of nature’s colors with elements collected and photographed while still fresh, but also a suggestive photographic book that, with a graphic designer’s eye, enhances the colors and “Pantones” of petals, leaves, branches, and other elements of nature.
This research is accompanied by texts from Beppe Finessi and Francesco Messina, as well as reflections from landscape designer Matteo Lacivita, who starts from the naturalistic observation of colors to also talk about painting, music, and other art forms that truly cannot do without color.
