What is Earth's art?
Earth Art, also known as land arts or earthworks, is an art movement in which works are created in nature using available natural and established materials. Rock, soil and water are mixed with materials such as metal and concrete to form statues and other pieces from the landscape. Rather than the location of art somewhere, this type of art creates a work from the landscape itself. Robert Smithson is one of the most representative artists and prominent puppets of the movement. Land artists rejected what they perceived as artistic and commercialization of art. Earth Art, which tried to create landscape projects on a large scale, was incredible, difficult or impossible in the traditional museum environment and was therefore considered to be outside the influence of commercial art market. Many pieces are of fleeting, created outside the developed areas and left to Changae, Erode and disintegrate with time.
Despite the suspicion of the traditional gallery environment, the country's art can still be displayed in a commercial environment. In many cases they areThe photos of the original work are displayed, but the Earth artists also create smaller installation pieces. Outdoor projects are often the most influential and reveal interest in science and nature.
Many projects are monumental on a scale and can be found throughout the United States, Europe and Africa. Large images or geoglyphs visible from high altitudes are drawn in the sand or created with stones. Giant boulders appear from the ground and the balls made of firmly mounted protocols will welcome forest visitors. It is often necessary to equipment for the completion of land art.
The most famous art of the country is probably a spiral shaped pier created by Robert Smithson in 1970. Smithson did his piercenu on a large salt lake in Utah by organizing Earth, rock and eyelash in a long spiral shape. Water -fluctuating levels affect how much piece is at the moment you seeLná. Smithson also created works that could be exhibited in a gallery environment, such as his piece of "gravel mirror with cracks and dust" made in 1968.
Group exhibition "Earth Works" from 1968 in New York at the Dawn Gallery is considered to be the beginning of the Art Earth. One of the announcements of the exhibition was written in Písek. Smithson gave the movement a critical framework of the same year in its key essay "Mind Sedimentation: Earth Projects", developing that the art of the country was a reaction to disconnecting modernism from social issues. Smithson's death from 1973 in the air accident robbed the movement of his most important thinker and puppet.
The roots of the earthwork movement are found in minimal and conceptual art. Most land artists are American men, including James Turrell, Michael Heizer and Carl Andre. Nancy Holt and Alica Aycock are two prominent female artists of the country.
