Question: Where is the author of This House of Sky: Landscapes of a Western Mind from?
Context: Ivan Doig ( ; June 27, 1939 – April 9, 2015) was an American author and novelist, widely known for his sixteen fiction and non-fiction books set mostly in his native Montana, celebrating the landscape and people of the post-war American West. Pierre Dominique Gaisseau was a French documentary film-maker best known for his documentary "Sky Above and Mud Beneath", which was awarded the first Oscar for a documentary.  The film is an account of an expedition into the previously unexplored wilds of the Netherlands New Guinea accomplished in 1959 by a small team of French and Dutch explorers under Gaisseau's leadership, in the area where young Michael Rockefeller later disappeared.  The film's images of stone age life and mock birth rituals made indelible imprints on the Western mind, repeated in various art and theater forms. The Passion of the Western Mind: Understanding the Ideas That Have Shaped Our World View is a 1991 book by cultural historian Richard Tarnas. Otto Eric Sebastian Fagerlund (born 6 December 1972, Parainen, Finland) is a Finnish composer.  He is described as “a post-modern impressionist whose sound landscapes can be heard as ecstatic nature images which, however, are always inner images, landscapes of the mind”. The depiction of winter landscapes in Western art begins in the 15th century.  Wintry and snowy landscapes are not seen in early European painting since most of the subjects were religious.  Painters avoided landscapes in general for the same reason.  The first depictions of snow began to occur in the 15th and 16th centuries.  Paintings that feature snow as a theme are mostly landscapes, even if some of these works involve religious or even fantasy landscapes.  Most of these winter landscapes in art history are plein-air depictions of winter scenes, using the quality of gray winter light to create the special winter atmosphere. Elli Sougioultzoglou-Seraidari (Greek: Έλλη Σουγιουλτζόγλου-Σεραϊδάρη ; 3 November 1899 – 8 August 1998), better known as Nelly's, was a Greek female photographer whose pictures of ancient Greek temples set against sea and sky backgrounds helped shaped the visual image of Greece in the Western mind (or, in a critical reading, the West's visual image of Greece in the Greek mind) The Closing of the Western Mind: The Rise of Faith and the Fall of Reason (2003) is a book by the classical historian Charles Freeman, in which he discusses the relationship between the Greek philosophical tradition and Christianity, primarily in the fourth to sixth century AD.  He argues that far from suppressing Greek philosophy, Christianity integrated the more authoritarian aspects of Platonism at the expense of the Aristotelian tradition.  He explores the contribution of the Roman emperors to the definition of Christian doctrine, an argument followed up in his 2009 book "AD 381".  He dates "the reopening of the western mind" to the integration of Aristotle's thought into Christian doctrine by Thomas Aquinas in the thirteenth century. Richard Theodore Tarnas (born February 21, 1950) is a cultural historian known for his books "The Passion of the Western Mind: Understanding the Ideas That Have Shaped Our World View" and "Cosmos and Psyche: Intimations of a New World View".  Tarnas is professor of philosophy and psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies, and is the founding director of its graduate program in Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness.
