Painting Flower is a 2004 photobook by Nobuyoshi Araki, showcasing his unique blend of flowers and the themes of life and death. Araki paints flowers with vibrant Liquitex colors, making their red hues even more intense, as if craving life, while the wilted flowers look as though they've been preserved after death. The book ends with an interview between Araki and Daido Moriyama (in Japanese). Each copy is signed by Araki and comes with an original inkjet print featuring one of eleven designs (Paper size: W297 x H209 mm, Image size: W240 x H160 mm).
