Art and the Earth from the Paul Getty Institute consists of six photoessays that survey art created to represent the interdependency of people within their environment. People make things special in the practice of their everyday lives using materials that are available around them. Mythic metaphors of plants, animals, and a geography of place can be found in most cultures throughout the world. Studying the ecological value of place in human life is one way to understand how people shape the earth and in the process are affected by their creative endeavors to control, design, and interact within their environment.
