Why Draw a Landscape?
In Why Draw a Landscape? Kathan Brown proposes that the best artists reflect issues of their times in their work and suggests that in life and art engagement is replacing coolness. "If I'm right," she says, "Irony may be on the way out as the darling of the art world avant-garde."Brown writes here about eleven painters and sculptors. Their different approaches to landscape are not only personal to them, but also raise thoughts about fragmentation, change and other forces that affect our lives.
