Abstract
The dissertation The Relationship between Christo’s Artworks investigates and discusses the couple Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s artistic work, who created large-scale projects that use their existing surroundings — architectural or natural. The thesis begins by examining the historical context, which briefly explains the project’s essential aspects and provides revlevant information about them. The selected and representative works are then subjected to a visual analysis that allows for a better understanding of the projects from an artistic perspective, highlighting aspects such as the relationship with the environment.
The work then shows the artists’ approach to the art they created. This passage allows for a better understanding of the works created and the reason / no reason for their existence. As a result of the analysis and extensive research, conclusions have been formulated.
