-  * My footsteps make the mark. My legs carry me across the country. It's like a way of measuring the world. I love that connection to my own body. It's to me the world. Richard long. The Guardian, June 15, 2012

+  * In the sixties walkingart beacame a genre by itself.  Long bases his work on the human scale. This distinguishes him from American Land Art artists who, in the 1960s and 1970s, created imposing works of art in the open air with bulldozers. The only things that remain are maps, photographs and word pictures, which he calls 'second-hand' by definition.
+In the nature of things: Art about mobility, lightness and freedom.
+Simple creative acts of walking and marking
+about place, locality, time, distance and measurement.
+Works using raw materials and my human scale
+in the reality of landscapes.
+The music of stones, paths of shared footmarks,
+sleeping by the river's roar.

-  *Richard Long: At the age of 22 Long made a work that would prove to be exemplary for his entire oeuvre: A Line Made by Walking (1967), an icon of Land Art. The actual artwork was the action itself and its result in the landscape. For this he walked a true line back and forth across a field of grass, until a path of flattened grass appeared. he took a picture of this in black and white.

 The photograph itself is the least important part of this work. it was necessary in order to record the temporary outcome of Long's action and make it visible to a large audience. the actual work of art was the action itself and its result in the landscape itself.
