Presentation: Perception
of "South Sea" Archetype
After the idealisation of
nature as pictoresque (f.i. Claude Lorraine),
the
man-made production of pictoresque landscapes (f.i.
English Gardens),
the loading up of real regions
with emotional values (f.i. Romantic Rhine),
now
the emotional values of half-preconceived far-away
regions are searched for - and found (Gauguin).
The last step then is the de-spatialisation (Enträumlichung)
of nature perception - beaches look the same everywhere
und postcards transport more information about the
tourist than the place.
