ART AND PROTEST - CHARLOTTE YELDHAM KARTONIERT ...

Following official protection of natural environments for public benefit in Fontainebleau
Forest in France (1861) and in Yosemite (1864) and Yellowstone (1872) in the USA  the New
Forest Act of 1877 marked the first major instance in Britain. Art and artists were involved in
this achievement to a greater extent than in all preceding cases. For the first time  and
within an ecocritical framework  this study examines the role played by art during the previous
anti-enclosure campaign - highlighting both the hitherto-unacknowledged extent of German
influence in terms of the original artistic initiative and of German artists' participation in
the cause  as well as the significance of connections between landscape art of the day and
priorities of the early Open Spaces movement. Ecocriticism in art history With works by the
German and British artists George Bouverie Goddard  Wilhelm Kümpel  Alfred Pizzi Newton 
Wilhelm Trautschold  Edmund George Warren
