Description
"In 1964-65 the nineteen-year-old Richard Long made his first sculptures out of doors in the gardens and parks of his home town of Bristol. Since then Long has achieved international recognition as one of a handful of artists who have changed the course of modern aesthetics by returning art to life. Long works with nature, but he is not a painter of landscape. A work by him may be a photograph, or a map, or a text, or a sculpture on the ground. It may involve a precisely structured walk, or the making of a universal, geometric mark from natural elements - sticks, stones, water or mud. His position is that the artist has always been the mediator between man and his surroundings, and his concern is to reveal truths of this relationship."--BOOK COVER.
