| Abstract | |
The current society had influenced the scientific methods and concepts constantly reviewed and putted in question. Therefore, the landscape concept, used to systemize geography, had also changed many of its conceptions. In the beginning, the term was linked with arts and esthetics but as time went on, it grown out of fashion and became more distant from the artistic ideas. This rupture had happened during the 20th century, time when occurred the scientific fragmentation; hence, it appeared many academic fields, among them the geomorphology. Meanwhile, this rupture was not steep and the relation between geomorphology and arts remain until this century. This research has as its objectives to rebuild the path of the landscape concept in the geography science, specifically in the geomorphology, and relates it with the artistic ideals. Highlighting the links between these two areas, showing both the influence of art on the art scientists, who used their landscape painting as methodology to develop their theories, and for the scientist artists, who used the new theories to represent the landscape. Among these artists, we have chosen those who had been part of the Hudson River School and have exposed a more pronounced scientific trend in their works. Once the Hudson River School, which is considered as the first school of art in America, used to have more than twenty artists. Those artists had many differences in the way they represent their work, but also many similarities, where the main similarity remains on the picture of landscapes. The temporal cutout encloses the 20th century, as it has been the core period for the geomorphology set up, and the spatial cutout was the United States, as it was in this country that geomorphology have developed and consolidated itself. To develop the reread of the geomorphology genesis and development we used the bibliographic review as methodology in order to enable new geomorphology interpretations possibilities (AU) | |
