front of landscape paintings and photographs.

Michael Gibbs begins his essay, "The landscape has been photographed and
reproduced so often it has turned into decor, an innocuous background to
daily life. Photographs of spectacular views hung on the walls of shops,
offices and restaurants are evidence of the distance, mediated and
amplified by the conditioned gaze of photography, that separates modern
man from his environment.  The outdoors has become almost totally
internalised and domesticated. Reduced to an acceptable image, nature is
no longer boundless, but bounded by a frame and a wall..."

9 copies of Paisaxes available through WorldCat and European Library.

Photos of book will be available tomorrow. Thanks for your consideration.

Kind regards,
Karen Cinquemani
