Art in love with nature. When a dialogue is established between the artist and nature, it gives rise to the creation of works whose beauty often serves the depth of the creators' ideas. By intervening in nature, Land artists - or environmental artists - had begun to reflect on ecology since the late 1960s and 1970s. At that time, the desire to escape the art market and exhibition spaces had emerged. This book, whose originality lies in its inclusion of ten exclusive interviews with international contemporary artists, proposes both to analyze certain works and to collect the thoughts and unpublished words of the creators in order to understand why they assimilated the original practices of Land Art while exploring new avenues. How do they manage to forge privileged links with the natural environment, in a respectful and holistic approach that includes all the elements of creation? Our book offers, from the pen of Muriel Berthou Crestey, a reinterpretation of a major artistic movement whose extensions can be found even in Street Art. In a fluid style, the author provides in his studies and his commentaries a support of knowledge, reverie, inspiration and reflection, to lovers of art, nature and gardens, as well as to architects and landscapers. This book is richly illustrated with photographs, some of which are unpublished.
