Picturing the Environment
Whether expressing their love for nature or dismay over its degradation at the hands of humans, these artists use their art practices to preserve what may soon be destroyed or to call attention to something that may yet be saved. Journey with them through the Pacific Northwest, postindustrial Germany, suburban Mexico, and beyond as we examine how artists picture the environment.
