This book analyses links among the Chinese concept of jingjie, the
picturesque movement in European aesthetics, and site-specificity
in 1960s Land Art. Jingjie was fundamental to the spatial fluidity
found in Chinese landscape arts, especially garden design. After
demonstrating how Chinese gardens influenced English landscape
garden principles and the 18th-century European picturesque
movement, this book argue that similar East-West connections served
as direct and indirect influences on the site-specific work of
middle and late 20th-century Land Art artists. This book then
describe how picturesque depictions of the relationship between man
and nature influenced 19th-century landscape architecture in North
America and 20th-century Land Art throughout the West. These
parallel East-West connections served as the foundation for later
interest in site- specificity, and were essential in establishing a
historical context for understanding cross-cultural currents and
their influences on Land Art artists.
