Farbige Illustrationen und Farbfotos. | WG: Buch | | »Artists for Nature in Extremadura« is a portrait of a countryside in which man and nature have existed in harmony for thousands of years. Landscapes, portraits of the Extremenos, paintings of their traditional way of life and the animals and plants of Extremadura make this a unique celebration of a unique are. The artists who contributed to this book fell in love with the place, ist people and ist animals, as can be seen in the pages of this delightful book. Sadly, the delicate harmony between man and nature, which inspired them, and which has lasted for several thousand years could be destroyed in the near future. The book is part of the artists' contribution to the campain to ensure that Extremadura remains on of Europe's most beautiful places. Each year the cranes that breed in northern Europe fly south to winter in Extremadura. The Artists for Nature Foundation followed the cranes from Scandinavia, painting them as they paused on the island of Rügen, in France and northern Spain and again when they reaced their winter feeding grounds among the forest-pastures of Extremadura. | [E] | |
