American Flag

From the author of Eclectic Country, a patriotic collection of 200 artists’ and designers’ renditions of the American flag.

Flags are so everywhere, so ever-present that we often barely notice them. But focused through a collector’s vision and a photographer’s eye, the good old red, white, and blue brings a smile, a memory, a tear and a lump to our throats. The flag is more than a symbol; it is art, and here are 200 artists’ and designers’ renditions of the ultimate symbol of freedom.
