Nature and mysterium towards culture : César Manrique on the idea of artistic creativity

The article refers to the issues surrounding ideas of art and the creativity in arts. I intend to illustrate such concerns by drawing on the example of the works of César Manrique. The following samples of his work show that the relationship between man and nature can reveal the problem of artistic creativity in a new cultural perspective. This article was written in scientific cooperation with the César Manrique. Foundation (Lanzarote, Canary Islands) and is part of a research project conducted by the author and Mr. Wojciech Rubiś.
