Slow Looking - The Art of Nature

Slow Looking: The Art of Nature explores the profound relationship between art and nature across time and cultures. The book presents paintings, sculptures, textiles, and other works of art in surprising juxtapositions, allowing readers to discover new connections between the shapes and colors of nature and the artists' visions. From landscapes and streams to skies and stars, the works show how humans have observed and depicted the patterns of nature throughout history. The book invites slow, reflective observation and provides a new way to experience both art and nature.

By following the patterns of nature, the book takes the reader on a journey through fields, mountains, forests and glaciers, on to lakes, ponds, waterfalls and rivers, and on to sunrises, rainbows, comets, clouds, constellations and much more.
