Eco art is a dynamic and vibrant subset of contemporary art that focuses on addressing the widespread public concern with rapid climate change and related environmental issues. In his book "Landscape into Eco Art," Mark Cheetham delves into the intricate connections and divergences between contemporary eco art, land art from the 1960s and 1970s, and the historical genre of landscape painting. Through eight thematic case studies, Cheetham explores what eco art means in practice, reception, and history, placing it within a longer and broader art-historical context. He examines a wide range of media, including painting, sculpture, photography, artists' films, video, sound work, animation, and installation, and analyzes the work of internationally prominent artists such as Olafur Eliasson, Nancy Holt, Mark Dion, and Robert Smithson. By doing so, Cheetham reveals eco art to be a dynamic extension of a long tradition of landscape depiction in the West, boldly entering into today's debates on climate science, government policy, and our collective and individual responsibility to the planet.
This volume is an ambitious intervention into eco-criticism and the environmental humanities, offering original ways to understand the issues and practices of eco art in the Anthropocene. Art historians, humanities scholars, and lay readers interested in contemporary art and the environment will find Cheetham's work valuable and invigorating.
