The visual and ideological opposition I landed on is Primitivism- the representation of primitive culture in both visual and literary art
Primitive- before civilization, before conquering, before  mastering the land.
It it the uncivilized, the raw:  anti-western norms.
The use of the primitive in this case is alienation, it is youth-driven cultural trends, it is unexplored, it is the opposite of all the landscape painting rhetoric.  But the landscape painting will be the setting for this little cult of characters nieve existence.
It will clash.
It will be absurd.
