Summary:
Le jardin alpin — auquel la figure d’Henry Correvon est immanquablement associée — est un objet aussi bien scientifique que culturel. Interdisciplinaire, il mobilise des connaissances botaniques, pédologiques, horticoles et paysagères. Commercial, il repose sur l’extraction, la circulation, l’acclimatation et la culture de plantes de toutes origines. Esthétique, il véhicule à travers la miniaturisation du paysage la représentation d’une nature sauvage, encore vierge des dommages de la civilisation, et qu’il faut, dès lors, protéger. Henry Correvon a touché à tous les aspects de ce phénomène culturel particulier : il a systématisé les méthodes de ses prédécesseurs, il a développé un florissant marché international de plantes alpines, il a collaboré à l’établissement d’un très grand nombre de jardins alpins, sans oublier son formidable apport de théoricien et de pédagogue. Retracer son trajet professionnel et intellectuel permet de parcourir les étapes saillantes de l’évolution du jardin alpin et, dans le même temps, de se pencher sur le rapport ambivalent que la modernité occidentale entretient avec la nature.

Summary:
In this lavishly illustrated volume, Robin Karson traces the development of a distinctly American style of landscape design through an analysis of seven country places created by some of the nation's most talented landscape practitioners. In the mid-nineteenth century Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of New York's Central Park, developed an approach to landscape design based on the principles of the English Picturesque which also emphasized a specifically American experience of nature and scenery. After Olmsted's retirement in 1897, these precepts continued to ground a new generation of American landscape architects through the next four decades, a period known as the “country place era,” a time of rapid economic, social, and cultural change. The chapters in this book trace a progression in the period from the naturalistic wild gardens of Warren Manning to the mysterious “Prairie style” landscapes of Jens Jensen to the proto-modernist gardens of Fletcher Steele. Other practitioners cov ered are Charles Platt, Ellen Biddle Shipman, Beatrix Farrand, Marian Coffin, and Lockwood de Forest Jr. The projects profiled follow a broad geographic arc, from Stockbridge, Massachusetts, to Santa Barbara, California. All seven landscapes are now open to visitors.
