Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Nils-Udo embarked on his artistic career as a painter but he rapidly turned his attention from the canvas to the environment. As such, he is one of the early exponents of land or environmental art, the resonance of which has become increasingly felt over the past few decades. As the technological world increases its hold on everyday life, Nils-Udo returns again and again to nature, in a thoughtful dialogue that requires us to reconsider our relationship with our natural surroundings.
He creates structures within a given natural site that serve to highlight the presence of nature: he plants entire fields of wildflowers, constructs giant nests, plants rows of saplings, hangs curtains of flowers from manmade structures, and installs miniature landscapes on artificially raised platforms.
The artist's documents and photographs of his work, reproduced in the current volume, do not aim to defeat their ephemeral nature. Instead they serve as a poignant reminder of the extent to which the whole of our natural environment risks becoming, in the face of modern civilization, just that-ephemeral.

Nils-Udo. Art in Nature. (ISBN: 9782080108913) Nils-Udo Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Flammarion., Paris., 2002. Book Condition: Very Good. 33x25cm. Nils-Udo started his artistic career as a painter but whilst working in Paris in the 1960s and in sync with the ideological questionings of the time, he turned his attention from the canvas to the environment. As such, he is one of the early exponents of environmental art, the resonance of which has become increasingly felt over the past few decades. As the technological world increases its hold on everyday life, Nils-Udo returns again and again to nature, in a thoughtful dialogue that requires us to reconsider our relationship with our natural surroundings. Nils-Udo creates structures within a given natural site that serve to highlight the presence of nature: he plants entire fields of wild flowers, constructs giant nests, and hangs curtains of flowers from man-made structures. Details such as a row of brightly-colored leaves demarcating the boundary between earth and melting snow or a displaced bolder emphasizing a notion of permanence alongside its more transient canopy convey a sense of the fragility of life through their ever-changing vistas. The artist's documents and photographs of his work, reproduced in the current volume, do not aim to defeat this emphemerality. pp. 159. Illustrated throughout in colour. Hardback, dust jacket. Some very minor wear to jacket, condition otherwise excellent. Bookseller Inventory # 369 Bookseller & Payment Information | More Books from this Seller | Ask Bookseller a Question |
