Este es el tercer libro del grupo ECO. De la naturaleza de la pintura de paisaje al arte del pensamiento paisajero, de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, en los que los temas se han ido encadenando de uno. En el segundo libro se describian los talleres de Fabero y la recuperacion de los espacios industriales abandonados y, de ahi enlazamos en este tercero con el tema De la pintura de paisaje a los espacios de arte en el campo. Cierto es que desde 2022-23, hemos ido abordando la ceguera a las plantas, es decir, la falta de interes sobre la naturaleza que nos rodea, pero los intereses del grupo estan diversificados y, en esta ocasion, tratamos la vuelta a la naturaleza que, a nuestro juicio, se esta produciendo en determinados ambitos, y reivindicamos el valor de los cursos y estancias repartidos por la geografia española, en ocasiones relacionados con la pintura de paisaje. Unos cursos que tienen hondas raices en tantos grupos de artistas que, a lo largo de la Historia del Arte, se han reunido para trabajar en comunidad. Actualmente, posiblemente ligados al gran abandono que propician las sucesivas crisis que estamos viviendo, han surgido diferentes agrupaciones que reivindican el mundo rural olvidado a causa de la preeminencia de las ciudades. De modo que este libro viene a reivindicar que la pintura de paisaje no es solo pintura, sino que es arte en colectivo. Y que esa union y esa conexion con la naturaleza a la que aspiramos tiene sentido incluso con la incorporacion de la inteligencia artificial en nuestras vidas.
