SCULPTURE & LANDSCAPE by David Worthington

Starting in pre-history and ending today, this lecture looks at how sculpture has been positioned in the landscape and why in the 20th Century landscape itself became a medium for sculpture.

Normally, sculpture was an urban phenomena in the Classical period, however some were occaionaly placed in the landscape, for instance tombs and mausoleums.

But as societies developed and travel beame safer, sculpture began to be situated amongst nature in more remote, wild locations.

David goes on to examine why and how the land itself has and continues to inspire sculptors.
