The land artist ranges over the whole globe. A desert, a beach, a field, a forest becomes a studio, a place of creative activity. This means the very texture and colour and shape and dampness and springiness and strength and size of moss, for instance. Or a stone. Or a crevice in a rock formation. The way the light falls on a patch of grass, the little bits of dead, yellowish grass on top of the newer, green grass. Pine cones, closed-up. Flowers turning sunward in the late afternoon. These are the things land artists deal with in making art. These are the actualities that artists employ when they create artworks. \u003c\/p\u003e ? \u003cp\u003e This new book explores all of the major land, environmental and earthwork artists of the past 40 years, including James Turrell and his vast volcano site - Hans Haacke's Conceptual art - Michael Heizer's Mid-West earthworks - Robert Smithson and his giant spiral, entropic earthworks - Christo's wrapped buildings and islands, - Robert Morris's environments - Walter de Maria's Romantic Lightning Field - David Nash's stoves, stones, trees and North Wales environments - Hamish Fulton's walks and words - Dennis Oppenheim's concentric snow circles - Richard Long and his art of walking - Andy Goldsworthy's natural, spontaneous, eco-friendly sculptures - Alice Aycock's mysterious underground mazes - Mary Miss's sunken pools and pavilions - Wolfgang Laib's delicate, luminous pollen spreads - Nancy Holt and her observation sculptures - and the enigmatic floor sculptures of Carl Andre. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Here are towers, stars, stones, pools, tunnels, pipes, maps, chasms, ladders, mounds, scars, mirrors, cones, furrows, mazes, circles, hills and gardens. \u003c\/p\u003e ?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Malpas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1861712367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781861712363\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crescent Moon Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.25w x 0.60d","brand":"William Malpas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939038167295,"sku":"9781861712363","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7058ad60-0cc3-48ec-ab62-b6a48ceeb863.jpg?v=1681439133","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/land-art-in-close-up-william-malpas-9781861712363","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
