Earth/Land/Walking Art.

I am readihg chapter 16 of Wanderlust, which is named The Shape of a Walk. The chapter's main focus is on walking artists and their work. I shall list some names below with links, because these word books aren't all that visually pleasing and Google Image can give me shrunken versions of the art. This is a minor personal development - I don't really enjoy looking at words any more. Especially the ones I've laid. Literal/verbal communication and the opposite, a mess of ideas too simple to bother with?

Here's that list:

Thomas Gainsborough's Morning Walk
Gustave Caillebotte's Paris Street, Rainy Day [gigantic]
Carl Andre's Lever
Patricia Johanson's Stephen Long
Michael Heizer's land drawings [possibly produced with a motorcycle]
Walter De Maria's Nevada earth art
Robert Smithson's Spiral Getty
Richard Long's Line Made by Walking
Hamish Fulton
Something by Stanley Brouwn

S'all about the outdoors innit.
