Beskrivelse

Explore the evolution of landscape art from ancient cave paintings to 19th-century modern works in this two-volume study.

An innovative theory linking landscape art to cultural development across history.

This book introduces a fresh and thorough theory on how landscapes in Western pictorial art can be understood in relation to the cultures that produced them. It traces a previously unexamined developmental pattern in landscape representation, starting from Palaeolithic cave paintings and extending all the way to the modernity of the 19th century.

By applying a structuralist comparison that connects this artistic pattern with three other analytical areas-self-consciousness, socially shaped perceptions of nature, and the concept of world picture-the book offers a compelling look into the broad historical organization of culture.

Challenging conventional views, it argues that culture, when observed from a certain perspective, exhibits a directional evolution.
