BOOKS:
THE
LANGUAGE OF LANDSCAPE
THE EYE IS A DOOR
Anne
Whiston Spirn
Thank
you for visiting Knowing Where to Stand. This website draws from
my book, The Language of Landscape (Yale University Press, 1998)
and from The Eye Is a Door, a book-in-progress.
The
Language of Landscape argues that
landscape is a form of language with its own grammar and metaphors
and that all can learn to read landscape and to cultivate the power
of landscape expression.
The
Eye Is a Door is a call for visual literacy and a guide.
Essays of photographs and words explore seeing as a way of knowing
and photography as a way of thinking.
