Richard Long is a British land artist.\u00a0His formative piece A Line Made By Walking<\/em>,\u00a0was made\u00a0in a field in Wiltshire where he walked backwards and forwards until the flattened turf caught the sunlight and became visible as a line. He photographed this work, and recorded his physical interventions within the landscape.<\/p>\n South Bank Circle <\/em>brings\u00a0together unevenly shaped pieces of slate in the geometric structure of a circle, and\u00a0illustrates a theme common in Long\u2019s work: the relationship between man and nature. As he has explained, \u2018you could say that my work is … a balance between the patterns of nature and the formalism\u00a0of human, abstract\u00a0ideas like lines and circles. It is where my human characteristics meet the natural forces and patterns of the world, and that is really the kind of subject of my work\u2019\u00a0(source<\/a>).<\/p>\n [easy-share buttons=”facebook,twitter,linkedin,mail” counters=0 native=”no” image=https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/yusuke-asai-waf-1.jpg url=https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/?p=5917 facebook_text=Share twitter_text=Tweet\u00a0linkedin_text=Link text=”Artist Richard Long’s Land Art”]<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div> Richard Long’s “A Line Made By Walking” was made in a field in Wiltshire where he walked backwards and forwards until the flattened turf caught the sunlight and became visible as a line. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":5921,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5917","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-visual-arts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5917"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5917"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5917\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18405,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5917\/revisions\/18405"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5917"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5917"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ehc.english.ucsb.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5917"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"0South_Bank_Circle_by_Richard_Long,_Tate_Liverpool\"](\"https:\/\/live-ehc-english-ucsb-edu-v01.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/0South_Bank_Circle_by_Richard_Long_Tate_Liverpool.jpg\")
