Wholesale Slow Looking: The Art of Nature

Slow Looking: The Art of Nature by Olivia Meehan Slow Looking: The Art of Nature is a unique celebration of the relationship between art and nature across millennia. Eschewing a linear narrative of art, this inspirational collection of artworks allows readers to make connections between the nature that surrounds them and the vision of a dazzling wide range of artists. Art historian Olivia Meehan has mixed paintings, drawings, sculpture, textiles, and decorative arts from across the globe in thought-provoking juxtapositions, inviting us to find something new in a familiar landscape and experiment in observing nature's wonders. Exploring the various intersections between artistic techniques and thematical elements across land, water, and sky, the pages reveal the deep-­rooted connections between human beings and our natural world: the form and colors of a Georgia O'Keeffe painting of a shell echo a carved fossil from 500,000–300,000 BCE.
