It is a book recommended to the students of the Degree and the Master in the Faculty of Fine Arts. The book it’s also mandatory citation in doctoral theses that refer to the binomial Art and Nature in contemporary art
The authors bring new approaches and different points of view to the subject, expanding and specifying the different meanings of the concept Nature. The ethical dimension plays an important role here, since it is not easy to question socially and culturally accepted topics without positioning oneself outside the inertia of use. The text provides detailed elements of analysis and stimuli for conceptual reflection, both from the philosophical and social point of view, as well as artistic interventions in the natural environment, amplifying in its understanding the symbolic dimension of the relationship between art and life and helping glimpse the possibility of finding the balance between the two.
