Richard Long

Mud Drawing

1990

A sweeping gestural work by British land artist Richard Long, *Mud Drawing* combines raw earth with acrylic on paper, reflecting the artist's deep connection to the natural landscape. Long applies mud in bold, expressive marks that evoke the textures and rhythms of the terrain he encounters on his solitary walks through the wilderness. The piece bridges the physical experience of nature and the formal language of abstract mark-making, transforming elemental material into a meditation on place and movement.
