Art movements that redrew how humans see the natural world — from Impressionist botanicals to Land Art — shaped which landscapes we protect and which plants we notice; understanding that creative legacy helps explain why some wildflowers get painted and preserved while others vanish unrecorded.
This piece opens a journal issue focused on how art and culture have transformed in the 21st century. The author draws a parallel between today's digitally connected creative world and the explosion of mass media in the early 1900s, both of which broke down old boundaries. Artists of the last century are credited with changing not just art but the world itself through bold, interconnected vision.

Artists of the 20th century are credited with permanently transforming art and, through it, the broader world (Aurora & Athenas, 2025).
