Un Art amoureux de nature. Le land art et ses mutations.
<p>L'art amoureux de nature. Lorsqu'un dialogue s'établit entre l'artiste et la nature, cela donne lieu à la création d'oeuvres dont la beauté sert souvent la profondeur des idées des créateurs. En intervenant dans la nature, les Land artistes - ou artistes environnementaux - avaient amorcé une réflexion sur l'écologie dès la fin des années 1960-1970. A cette époque était apparue la volonté d'échapper au marché de l'art et aux lieux d'exposition. Ce livre, dont l'originalité est d'être composé notamment d'une dizaine d'entretiens exclusifs avec des artistes contemporains internationaux, propose à la fois d'analyser certaines oeuvres et de recueillir les pensées et les propos inédits des créateurs afin de comprendre pourquoi ils ont assimilé les pratiques originelles du Land Art tout en explorant de nouvelles pistes. Comment parviennent-ils à tisser des liens privilégiés avec l'environnement naturel, dans une démarche respectueuse et holistique qui inclut tous les éléments de la création ? Notre ouvrage propose, sous la plume de Muriel Berthou Crestey, une relecture d'un courant artistique majeur dont les prolongations se retrouvent jusque dans le Street Art. Dans un style fluide, l'auteur fournit dans ses études et ses commentaires un support de connaissance, de rêverie, d'inspiration et de réflexion, aux amateurs d'art, de nature et de jardins, comme aux architectes et aux paysagistes. Ce livre est richement illustré de photographies pour partie inédites. </p> Lausanne, 2020 Ides et Calendes 203 p., cartonnage éditeur. 22,6 x 22,6

This Land Is Your Land : Across America by Air
, Aperture Book 1997, 1997 Hardcover, 106 pages, English, 325 x 290 mm, book in fine condition, with pictures in b/w, . ISBN 9780893816049.
This Land Is Your Land offers a unique perspective on the American landscape, making the familiar fantastic, as well as an aesthetic experience of dizzying proportions. Marilyn Bridges takes us on an inspiring journey, as we look down together on the fleeting moments and lasting signatures of the United States that are etched on our continent. An aerial photographer who has explored ancient cultures around the world for more than a decade, Bridges has now focused her attention on a subject no less intriguing: the grandeur of America. By flying and photographing at low altitudes, and by maintaining a sensuous closeness with her subject, Bridges avoids the simplistic representation of landscape as mere design. Divided regionally, This Land Is Your Land accents the variety of America, but follows civilization's uneasy interaction with the environment as a common thread. We see the earth shaped and reshaped to service humanity. Monuments rise to celebrate our achievements even as nature wards off intrusion. Fledgling communities spring up among lava and sand. Scars left by clear-cutting, mining, and nuclear waste raise concerns for the future. Yet here, too, there is ironic wit. The towering presidential portraits at Mount Rushmore appear dwarfed by surrounding mountains. The Statue of Liberty hides in plain sight, completely swathed in scaffolding. From the intimacy of a farmhouse to the majesty of the Grand Canyon, Bridges's original vision provides an unequaled perspective on the land in which we live. In the Book's Essay by acclaimed writer William Least Heat-Moon, and the Afterword by Bridges, we are given insight into the photographer's working process and the inspiration behind her images. Certainly, This Land Is Your Land contains an urgent environmental message; in every photograph we sense a longing for a purer time, before humanity dismissed the land's indigenous curves and flow in favor of the urban grid. Still, Bridges offers no facile solutions or sentimental appeals. Faced with the jumble of American progress, we look for a vision of nature as idyllic--only to be awed by the savage forces unleashed by Mount St. Helens and the Kilauea volcano. Never what you expect, This Land Is Your Land provides page after page of visual surprises. The book inspires in us a haunting and profound admiration for a vibrant land which will prevail long after our civilization has gone.
Landholding and Land Transfer in the North Sea Area (Late Middle Ages - 19th Century),
Turnhout, Brepols, 2004 Paperback, 292 p., 156 x 234 mm. ISBN 9782503510972.
For a better understanding of medieval and early modern rural society, in which land was the principal source of income and investment, as well as a most prestigious object of possession and a solid base of power, historical questions on landholding and land transfers are highly relevant. This volume aims to clarify some long-standing issues concerning the large variety of land tenure and non-familial transfers of land in the North Sea area by treating them from a regional - if possible comparative - perspective and by linking them to such structural features of preindustrial rural society as shifts in land to labour ratio's; social property relations; commercialisation and the rise of land, leasehold, and credit markets; the growth of state intervention and the institutional innovation that followed in its wake; the sustained prevalence of local or regional customary law; and the effects of social and cultural values on the demand for land. From viewing the later medieval and early modern period as a whole, one has to conclude that the mobility of agricultural land markedly increased. This was due first and foremost to the establishment of clear-cut private property rights, to the expansion of land and credit markets, and to the spread of short-term leasing. Differences in the pace of capitalist development as well as of state formation were mainly responsible for outspoken regional differences. Languages: English.
