More on the Cosmic Landscape   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #208 of 240 |

    I might be taking too many liberties with Norberg-Schulz' characterization of  the Cosmic Landscape but I'd venture to say that a landscape may convey the impression of the cosmic style even if it doesn't conform with much of the criteria enunciated by him.

     There are quite a number of examples that could be brought in;  a case in point is afforded by the sort of landscapes that Glen Ryan presents us with.  We have mentioned previously Mr. Ryan's work in this message board. In connection with his visual images one particular sentence of Norberg-Schulz' characterization of cosmic landscape comes to mind (op.cit.,pp.45) :

 "As a whole, the environment seems to make an absolute and eternal order manifest, a world which is distinguished by permanence and structure"

 

   Consider for instance the landscape image below:

    

                      Tussock (near Canberra, Australia) 

                         by Glen Ryan (2001)

 

       If you can't see the image and  even if you can see it , it's worthwhile visiting Glen  Ryan's Essay in our website at 

http://www.freewebs.com/jorgeg/invisiblelandscapes.htm

 and also his galleries at  http://www.invisiblelandscapes.com/
