This book analyses links among the Chinese concept of jingjie, the picturesque movement in European aesthetics, and sitespecificity in 1960s Land Art. Jingjie was fundamental to the spatial fluidity found in Chinese landscape arts, especially garden design. After demonstrating how Chinese gardens influenced English landscape garden principles and the 18thcentury European picturesque movement, this book argue that similar EastWest connections served as direct and indirect influences on the sitespecific work of middle and late 20thcentury Land Art artists. This book then describe how picturesque depictions of the relationship between man and nature influenced 19thcentury landscape architecture in North America and 20thcentury Land Art throughout the West. These parallel EastWest connections served as the foundation for later interest in site specificity, and were essential in establishing a historical context for understanding crosscultural currents and their influences on Land Art artists.
