ART NATURE DIALOGUES
by John K. Grande
Foreword by
Edward Lucie-Smith
From the Introduction: TRUE TO NATURE by John K. Grande
...."These dialogues will provide the reader with a variety of artists'own views on the process of their artmaking and viewpoints on the place of nature in art. With a better understanding of how the art-nature phenomenon is occurring simultaneoulsy in many places, among a great variety of artists, in many countries, and how this synchronicity is no accident, readers will be provided with a broader worldview. It evidences the urgent need for contemporary art to embrace the nature phenomenon as an ongoing part of the dialogue on humanity's place in nature."
