Praise for Flowers for Lisa

“Abelardo Morell’s Flowers for Lisa makes love visible. His photographs have always reached for a new kind of vision and here it is, a completely original point of view, transforming and mysterious and nothing less than fantastic.”
author of Practical Magic, The Marriage of Opposites, The Dovekeepers, and The Rules of Magic

“Astonishingly beautiful—simply jaw-dropping—a world of original wonders with a subject that one might have thought had been exhausted long ago.”
Professor of Psychology at Harvard University and the author of How the Mind Works and Enlightenment

“The astonishing images in Flowers for Lisa, with their painterly explosions and surprising deconstructions, refract the world anew. Morell has captured the paradoxical: the essence of the things themselves (in this case, flowers as you’ve never seen them before); and the ineffable, tactile, full complexity of love. Bravo!”
author of Here in Berlin

“. . . . the most exhilarating photo book of the year . . . . The book is a tour de force, a sustained burst of emotion, and a transferable unit of joy.”
The New York Times
