Wonderful, Wide-Ranging Meditations on Art and the Environme,
By Kynancy (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: As Eve Said to the Serpent: On Landscape, Gender, and Art (Paperback)
Rebecca Solnit's Savage Dreams is one of my favorite books, and this compilation of essays covers some of the same territory. She writes insightfully about the visual arts, the environment, and feminism in a way that causes us to look at the world differently. Her passion for the desert and its fragile ecosystems is especially evocative. I particularly liked her essays on dirt and Carlsbad Caverns.
Unlike a lot of criticism, her writing isn't overly difficult to read, and she infuses much of it with humor. She covered some artists whose work I love and introduced me to new ones. While reading this book, I have found myself thinking about language and space in new ways. The writer also asks us to question our relationship to the world in a powerful way. |
