Description: Folio Society Hardcover Landscape into Artby Kenneth Clark AS NEW UNREAD conditionSlipcase has some minor corner bumps Folio Society Edition 1st Printing 2013 Lavishly illustrated with vibrant color reproductions of paintings on nearly every page 11 x 9.25 inches 188 pages Landscape into Art gathers together Clark’s Oxford lectures on the origins and development of landscape painting. With his prodigious knowledge and passionate, plain-speaking style, Clark is a superb guide. Though his approach is chronological, his aim was not to set down the history of the art form but to explore our changing relationship with nature and evolving attitudes towards its visual representation – from admiration in ancient Greece and Rome, through aversion and fear in the medieval era, to a renewed ardor in the 19th century. In each themed chapter, he considers the narrative, formal and intellectual factors underlying key developments, such as ‘The Landscape of Symbols’ and the ‘Landscape of Fantasy’. Sir Kenneth Clark possesses a rare ability for conveying artistic enthusiasm to those who might never encounter his more learned studies and catalogues. In 'Landscape into Art' he effectively outlines the growth of landscape painting as an independent art, from the early use of symbols taken from nature to the canvases of such great painters as Constable and Corot, Turner and Van Gogh, Cezanne and Seurat.
