In English: Small reflection on the inevitable materiality of art and land art as an escape

It is true that the artist can imagine anything, and that perceives reality channeling its entirety through the five senses. Are the two main drivers of'' inspiration'', that if the artist is governed by the same, which is pretty bad for about valued and fairly valued by others. But who creates art, however, must take into account that a work is something material, something tangible, and that the mind is not the only thing you need to do. An artist can not express absolutely everything you want your head, because the physical limitation of using a stand for itself and then work it shows that the work of art is capped.


"The Rhythms of Life." Andrew Rogers (2006). 

Land art is perhaps the best example of a more tangible art ''unlimited'', in the sense that the landscape itself is the stand where the artist creates, makes and breaks. Space, the main obstacle in the art, what the work occupies in the land art is all reality as perceived; is a natural environment, with its light, its air and its temperature. This is not a canvas containing reality, but an alternate reality beautifully. A modified space, stretching. '' The Rhytms of Life'', which represents a shield of Masai tribe with all the elements that distinguish it, can not be isolated as the'' drawing'' which is drawn on the ground. Its dimensions are, really, and the soil where it is located, which has no end. There is no framework or a way to separate depicted bushes around it, for example. The land art, to be colossal, resembles the architecture, but nevertheless it must be governed by physical laws that hinder the freedom of enjoying the first. Moreover, the land art also influenced by seasonal changes, schedules, etc., which gives the works done in this way large plurality.
