Quote by Northrop Frye

Nature is inside art as its content, not outside as its model.

Nature is inside art as its content, not outside as its mode

Summary

This quote suggests that nature is not merely a subject or model for art but rather an inherent part of it. It implies that art draws inspiration from nature and incorporates its essence and elements as the very substance of its creation. Instead of replicating external images, art expresses the deeper essence of nature, capturing its beauty, emotions, and truths within its own form and content. It highlights the intimate connection between nature and art, emphasizing that nature exists within the creative process rather than being something separate to portray.
