理查德·朗(Richard Long),1945年6月出生于英国的布里斯托尔,是英国最著名的大地艺术家之一,同时也是唯一一位曾获得四次特纳奖提名的艺术家,最终于1989年凭借作品“白色的水线”(White Water Line)获颁特纳奖,目前依然工作、生活在布里斯托尔。早在学生时代,理查德·朗的兴趣就在于以更令人深思的角度联结艺术与自然,他的作品朴素、单纯。1967年,理查德·朗在一块田地里来回地走,踩到草后形成的一条直线便是他的第一件大地艺术作品,名为“走出的线”(A Line Made by Walking)。此后,理查德·朗的作品风格逐渐明确:以一个观念为基础,用极少主义的理念进行实践,作品完成后又重新归于自然,并用图片或文献的方式进行记录。随着艺术创作的日趋成熟,理查德·朗开始在世界各地进行创作,以简洁的轮廓和形状为主,顺着不同地方的地形行走:1972年在秘鲁;1974年在加拿大;1976年在日本。后来,他又制作“石线”,1970年在田纳西河;1975年在喜马拉雅山;1977年在澳大利亚;1979年在富士山。1974年,他在路旁每隔一英里放置一块石头,形成了一条164英里长的线。1981年他又在玻利维亚搬开石头以裸露土地而形成线条,1983年在尼泊尔通过扫走落叶而形成线条。直线成为其他一些基本形状的源头:圆、正方形、螺旋、十字形和Z字形。
