Slow Looking : The Art of Nature

Slow Looking: The Art of Nature by Olivia Meehan is an art history collection exploring the enduring relationship between artistic creation and the natural world.

Drawing on artworks from across cultures, continents, and centuries, from ancient fossils and Egyptian sculpture to Van Gogh and Georgia O'Keeffe, the book pairs images thematically around landscapes, water, and celestial phenomena to reveal recurring human fascinations with nature.

Structured to encourage patient, unhurried observation, it invites readers to slow down, look closely, and reflect on their own connection to the natural world through art.
