Journal (Klimt: The Tree of Life) - Flame Tree Publishing

Part of the exciting and luxurious Flame Tree notebook series. Combining high-quality production with stunning artwork, the covers are printed on foil in five colours, embossed, and then foil-embossed. They are incredibly practical: a rear pocket for receipts and scraps, two bookmarks, and a sturdy magnetic side flap. Perfect for personal use and an eye-catching gift. These sample features depict Gustav Klimt’s Tree of Life.

The Palace of Stoclet was one of the most magnificent Art Nouveau monuments. Klimt decorated three walls of the dining room with a mosaic frieze consisting of nine panels. At the centre of this frieze, Stoclet’s Tree of Life suggests the biblical Garden of Eden, the seasons, life and death, and much more. Its golden trunk and swirling branches were inspired by Japanese art and ancient Egypt.

The unusual titles and a very wide range of authors are characteristic of Flame Tree Publishing.

“The aim… is to wipe the dust of everyday life from our souls” – Pablo Picasso.

“Flame Tree Publishing has been dusting off everyday life for over twenty years, creating illustrated books since 1992, art calendars since 1998, and illustrated e-books since 2009. Their extensive list includes powerful and eloquent artists such as Erté and Alphonse Mucha, complemented by extensive licensing in their award-winning calendar line, with Tate, V&A, RSC, RA, and many others.”

With a wide range of authors, editors, and writers—from Vladimir Ashkenazy, Steve Hackett, John Howe, Sir George Martin, Brian May, Paul du Noyer, Paco Peña, Stanley Sadie—the company strives to create illustrated projects that are affordable, useful, and beautiful. In addition to printed titles, their exceptional selection of practical cookbooks, music, pop culture, and lifestyle books is increasingly available in digital formats. The publisher believes that well-reviewed, thoughtfully curated content should be available in many different formats to meet their readers’ needs.
