Excerpt from Garden Design: And Architects Gardens; Two ReviewsFor them. We live at a time when, through complexity of thought and speech, artistic questions have got into a maze of confusion. Even teachers by profession confuse them selves and their unfortunate pupils with vague and hyper refined talk about art and schools and styles, while all the time much worse work is done than in days when simpler, clearer views were held. To prove this there is the example of the great M aster's work and the eternal laws of nature, on the study of which all serious art must be for ever based. Beneath all art there are laws, however subtle, that cannot be ignored without error and waste and in garden design there are lessons innumerable both in wild and cultivated Nature which will guide us well if we seek to understand them simply.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
