Preferred term

geography and art  

Definition

  • Geography has always been highly reliant on visual imagery—and not least art—to explain the patterns and processes that lie at the heart of the discipline. Although this often has meant that art has been used as nothing more than the straightforward representation of place or landscape, during the past 40 years historical and cultural geographers have cultivated the critical interpretation of art as a specialist interest in geography.
