Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book critiques the contemporary style of landscaping exemplified by Lancelot "Capability" Brown's work that favors unremitting smoothness and continuity. The author argues that such landscaping methods suppress diversity and the picturesque qualities of nature that produce visual interest, proposing instead a more detailed and varied approach to garden design. The author's arguments are rooted in the principles and practices of landscape painting. They demonstrate a deep understanding of the visual elements that create beauty and interest in the natural world. The book has been influential in expanding the conversation around the aesthetics of landscaping beyond Brown's limited prescriptives, providing a compelling argument for incorporating the picturesque into landscape design. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780243260607_0
