There is no escaping landscape: it's everywhere and part of
everyone's life. Landscapes have received much less attention in
aesthetics than those arts we can choose to ignore, such as
painting or music a " but they can tell us a lot about the ethical
and aesthetic values of the societies that produce them.
Drawing on examples from a wide range of landscapes from around
the world and throughout history, Susan Herrington considers the
ways landscapes can affect our emotions, our imaginations, and our
understanding of the passage of time. On Landscapes reveals the
design work involved in even the most naturalistic of landscapes,
and the ways in which contemporary landscapes are turning the
challenges of the industrial past into opportunities for the
future. Inviting us to thoughtfully see and experience the
landscapes that we encounter in our daily lives, On Landscapes
demonstrates that art is all around us.
