Richard Long, whose approach to his art sees man not distorting nature but interacting with it at his own pace, is internationally known for his conceptual works, with which he has been experimenting since his youth. The artist’s solitary walks are famous: long walks in the absence of any kind of artificial mediation or human presence in wild places and settings in order to investigate and explore the combination of man and environment. For Long making art by walking and organising the elements of nature should be considered as a self-portrait of the artist’s history and a self-portrait of the history of man.
