The story of Australian art does not begin and end with landscape. This book puts flowers front and centre, because they have often been ignored in preference for more masculine themes.Departing from where studies of single flower artists leave off, Useless Beauty embraces the general topic of flowers in Australian art and shines new light on a slice of Australian art history that extends from 1880 to 1950. It is the first book of broad chronology to discuss Australian art through blossoms, which it does by addressing stories of major figures including Hans Heysen, Margaret Preston and Sidney

"Vacillating between the majesty of the Greco-Byzantine heritage and the modernity forecasted by Giotto, Early Italian painting summarises the first steps that led to the Renaissance. Trying out new media, those first artists left frescoes for removable panels. If the sacred faces shock us novices, this distance was more than wanted during this era and in order to emphasise the divinity of the characters; it highlighted their divinity and comforted the sanctified with a background covered with gold leaves. The elegance of the line and the colour choice was combined to reinforce the symbolic choices. The half-confessed ultimate goal of the early Italian artists was to make the invisible ... visible. In this magnificent book, the author emphasises the importance that the rivalry between the Siennese and Florentine schools played for the evolution of art history. And the reader, in the course of these forgotten masterworks, will discover how, little by little, the sacred became incarnate and more human ... opening a discrete but definitive door through the use of anthropomorphism, as was cherished by the Renaissance."-- Publisher's website

Det danske landskab har over de seneste 200 år ændret sig dramatisk. Større og større områder er blevet opdyrket, og byer og veje har erobret det meste af landet. Vi mennesker sætter spor overalt - ikke kun i vores nære omgivelser, men også dybt ned i jordens geologiske lag. Vi kan spore denne udvikling helt tilbage til 1800-tallet, og i periodens kunstværker kan vi se, hvordan malerne fortolkede landskaberne i tæt dialog med naturvidenskaben. Geologiske undersøgelser, kortlægninger af den jyske hede og landbrugets teknologiske fremskridt forvandlede såvel det kunstneriske udtryk som vores syn på den natur, der i stigende grad blev menneskeskabt. I 'Jordforbindelser' fortæller bogens syv forfattere om landskabets forandring og menneskets påvirkning af naturen fra 1800-tallet og frem til i dag. Med udgangspunkt i billedkunst, naturvidenskabelige bøger, kort og måleinstrumenter undersøger forfatterne de historiske rødder, der vokser under nutidens antropocæne landskab. Det er et naturligt afsæt for at forstå det 21. århundredes globale klimakrise.
