Environmental Art is a genre of art that emphasizes the relationship between art and the natural environment. Artists create works that often utilize natural materials and are designed to enhance or reflect the beauty of the landscape, such as Robert Smithson's famous Spiral Jetty.
This form of art not only aims to beautify spaces but also raises awareness about environmental issues. By integrating art with nature, artists like Andy Goldsworthy create temporary installations that highlight the fragility of ecosystems and encourage viewers to appreciate and protect the environment.
