Landscape Scenarios from the Lines-Strokes of Georgia O’Keeffe and Lina Bo Bardi

Abstract

The lines of the drawings by Georgia O'Keeffe and Lina Bo Bardi help us propose points of view that are still valid to analyze the landscape by creat-ing new scenarios. In them, the near and the far that we explore eliminates the middle shot, which we observe unprecedentedly. Through pairs, factories versus flowers, on the scale of objects, and the ur-ban versus the rural, on the territorial scale, we find the keys to how the two authors of our essay built landscape scenarios. A capacity that helps us glimpse the way to face the landscape in this new century. The tools that we will contemplate are the change of scale and the use of dif-ferent and extreme dimensions. With them, Lina and Georgia find a new way of looking at the environment surrounding them, and they can offer us new scenarios with which to understand the environment in which we live. In her works, we discover two instruments of analysis for understanding the con-temporary landscape.
