“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.” -- Alice Hoffman * 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.” -- Steven Pinker * 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!” -- Cristina García * 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 *
