Thomas Cole’s Romantic Era masterpiece, “The Oxbow,” (1836).
Like Romantics, designers still use nature as a source of inspiration today. Our perception towards science has changed: science make sense of how the world works, why instead being seen as evil during romantic times.
I feel man appreciation of the beauty of nature began during the romantic period because of industrialization of Europe. With industrialization comes pollution, relevant in today’s society, like the oil spill from the Gulf of México. With technological advancement brings more pollution, although it has made our lives better. However, to what extent are we willing to destroy the nature for our own personal benefit?
