History of Landscape

20th Century and Beyond

In the modern period, landscape has come to mean many things as artists embrace new media in addition to the more traditional media to create environments using light and colour.

As the world becomes more built up, urban landscapes also feature more heavily as well as artwork which reflects the plight of the landscape in the face of industrialisation and population growth.
