There is no escaping landscape its everywhere and part of everyones life.Landscapes have received much less attention in aesthetics than those arts wecan choose to ignore such as painting or music but they can tell us a lotabout the ethical and aesthetic values of the societies that produce them.Drawing examples from a wide range of landscapes from around the world andthroughout history Susan Herrington considers the ways landscapes can affectour emotions our imaginations and our understanding of the passage of time.On Landscapes reveals the enormous design work involved in even the mostnaturalistic of landscapes such as Prospect Park in Brooklyn and the ways inwhich contemporary landscapes are turning the challenges of the industrial pastinto opportunities for the future. These contemporary landscapes such as apark in Germany that uses industrial relics as ruins and a playground in Japanbuilt on a former landfill signal a change in the way we think about natureand art. By inviting us to thoughtfully see and experience the landscapes thatwe encounter in our daily lives On Landscapes demonstrates that art is allaround us. «
