Art and Landscape: an unstable BUT EVER-RENEWED RELATIONSHIP

Abstract

This paper deals with the concrete achievement of the relationship between art and landscape. This relationship is meant here as the fusion of both terms: the question, therefore, is not the landscape as a theme for the art, neither the art applied to the landscape, but art done with landscape, and landscape expressed as art. Firstly, some considerations are made about the necessary, opportune and feasible relationship between art and landscape. Next, eight woks are shown, representing the student production in an elective class of the Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade de São Paulo, during the second semester of 2005, in which the inextricable relationship between art and landascape was adopted as a guideline.
