The definition of inscape, according to Webster's New World College Dictionary is "the essential quality of a thing, place, person, etc., especially as expressed in an artistic work."

The term inscape has been used by poets, visual artists, psychoanalysts, and even composers (e.g., Aaron Copland, who wrote a piece called "Inscape" [1967]).

Here are two Wikipedia articles dealing with the term "inscape" in more restricted contexts:

  • Inscape: literary/philosophical concept proposed by British poet Gerard Manley Hopkins (Inscape as described here is quite close to the dictionary definition given above.)
  • Inscape (visual art) (Inscape, as used in this context, is closely associated with surrealism, psychoanalysis, and certain visual artists, especially Roberto Matta.)
