The movement first appeared in the United States at the end of the 1960’s. In this perspective, the art work is a direct action on the landscape, an action that may be conceptual, minimal or monumental. These artists intend to both keep art outside of the conventional loci – museums and galleries – and establish an intimate communion with nature.
To realize their works, some of them, Christo for example, bring in foreign elements to the natural site, while others use the elements and materials they find on the site itself. In the end, the landscape is modified either temporarily or permanently.
Most often, they keep a record of their work with drawings, photographies or engravings, which eventually will also help fund their next project.

Index chosen on the movements, important currents and events in the XX 2nd century art
I wanted to give here, with 46 various short introductions, some general elements on the movements or currents of art, groups or exhibitions, which concern the artists whose works are presented in gallery or were it recently. The table, above, will make it possible to visually locate the periods or dates in time.
Each entry is followed of a list of the principal artists belonging to the movement or current. It may be that there is only one simple relationship between such or such artist and the movement in which in theory one locates it (Click on the names in blue to reveal work or works currently in stock).
It will be understood, some movements are represented much than of others in my gallery. The same artist will be often found in several movements (as each one knows it, it was thus).
Although these some introductions, briefly developed, are not addressed to the specialists, they will forgive me the few lapses of memory or choices which would lend to discussion. I hope that these tiny introductions will be however useful to some of you. Michelle Champetier
