THE ACTUAL LANDSCAPE, A COUNTERPOINT OF THE IDEAL LANDSCAPE
THE ACTUAL LANDSCAPE, A COUNTERPOINT OF THE IDEAL LANDSCAPE

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the relationship between the actual nature, the adapted one by man for commercial purposes, for economic interventions such as those of agricultures’ or urban ones, reflected in contemporary artistic productions and the ideal nature, imagined by artists. This statement is not a new one. Throughout the history of art have always intersected guidelines set by artistic approaches based on copying nature and its interpretation. The two apparently antagonistic approaches, seemingly incompatible, but they are put in line in terms of art, discovering like Eros and Thanatos their affinities. They are not in opposition, but in a complementary relationship both revealing that we do not live in a vacuum space, in which stands the individual and things, but in a room full of qualities, which is a continuous challenge for artists. Regardless of the attitude adopted towards empirical information from nature, each artist relates to the world in a unique and personal way.
