Abstract

The purpose of this article is to examine the environmental issue which plays a key role in the art world since 1967, especially through the American Land Art and the European Environmental Art. Due to the pop art’s assemblages and the Land Art conceptual experiences, the Environmental Art has developed its own contents. Through a review of significant endeavours, we will be able to appreciate an unprecedented interpretation of human’s actions on the environment. From a critical and historical point of view, this article aims to examine some art facts which are fundamental to rough out the current shape of the Environmental Art. This can only be achieved by the widest range research of any stripe and variety and the widest range of functional diversity.
