O soše
Nearly two hundred slate fragments make up Richard Long's Cornwall Circle (1991), in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. The stones came from a quarry at Delabole in Cornwall, a source Long had used since the 1960s. Builders bought its cut slate for roofs, floors and work surfaces; Long selected the offcuts left behind. Each fragment differs in outline, size and surface markings, but all enter one circular arrangement. Seen from close to floor level, their uneven heights can resemble a range of mountains.
Slovy muzea
Richard Long's art is based on nature and his interaction with it. He has explained, "My work is real, not illusory or conceptual. It is about real stones, real time, real actions. I use the world as I find it." This haunting sculpture contains almost 200 previously cut, irregular pieces of slate arranged in a circle. Long obtained the stones from a quarry in the small village of Delabole in Cornwall, England, which has been a source of materials for his sculptures since the 1960s. The quarry's usual customers are builders, who use cut slate for various architectural purposes such as floors, roofs, and counter tops. In providing these products, the quarry cuts the stone, often leaving discarded pieces. Long then selects these castoffs to create his evocative works of art. In Cornwall Circle, each stone is unique in shape, size, and textural markings. However, the overall arrangement is a unified composition with geologic and natural references. For example, when viewed from a low vantage point, the stones suggest a mountain range.
