On Glaciers and Avalanches. Notes on Representation Vol. 8 / Irene Kopelman

Roma Publication 297

This book, the 8th volume in Kopelman's series 'Notes on Representation', focuses on glaciers, alpine forests, and avalanche-sculpted mountainscapes, especially their texture, morphology, and ‘readability’. It brings together drawings and field notes made during multiple stays in the Swiss Alps, notably Davos, as well as paintings produced later in a studio setting. It also contains contributions by scientists with whom Kopelman worked. Their research offers relevant perspectives into glaciology, ecology, dendrochronology, and art history.
