Leta Peer’s melancholic, strangely bewitching pictures remind us of the paintings of the romantics, of their assumed harmonization of nature with humans. Yet they confront us with exploitation and aestheticism of nature. The term ";disturbing beauty";?no matter how inflationary it has been used in other contexts?is perhaps the most fitting description of this complex work.
