Earth Art, Earth Works, etc. This style or genre of art happened around the 1950s and 60s when artists were questioning the validity of the gallery or what is also referred to as the “white cube,” These artists, (white men mostly) went out into nature to find their own version of what it means to alter the earth and/or communicate with a specific location.
