This talk addresses the changing place of landscape art in cultural and historical geography, with reference to current interests in the making and exhibition of art works and social and environmental questions on the construction of landscapes on the ground. The talk focusses on meanings of pictorial views of extractive landscapes from the nineteenth to twentieth centuries, particularly of the quarrying of sand and gravel, and their place in wider material and imaginative worlds.

Stephen Daniels is Emeritus Professor of Cultural Geography at the University of Nottingham and Senior Fellow in Landscape Studies at Dumbarton Oaks, Washington DC and was also elected a fellow of the British Academy in 2010.
