The Untended Garden is a website that explores and celebrates works of art inspired by nature, drawing from examples in visual arts, books, music, film, and interactive media.
Nature has inspired art since cave paintings, and the way we think about nature says a lot about our culture. Today we know more about nature than ever before, and yet as a society we are becoming more and more separated from the natural world around us. How are works from the past still relevant today, and how are today’s artists using themes of nature to express themselves and convey larger ideas about the world? Join us as we explore this wild terrain!
