| Summary: | Impeccably researched and richly detailed, this book addresses the issue of translation between visual arts and landscape design in the 50 year career of Pratricia Johanson, an important artist in the second half of twentieth century. Examining artist's search for an "art of the real" as a member of the post-World War 2 New York art world, and how a pursuit has led her from painting and sculpture to public garden and enviornmental art, Xin Wu argues for the significance of the process of art creation, challenging the centrality of art objects. |
