British Pro-Consuls In Egypt, 1914-1929: The Challenge of Nationalism

Richard Long

With World War I and Egypt's colorful politics as background, C.W.R. Long tells the story of four proconsuls (McMahon, Wingate, Allenby and Lloyd), their principal opponent, Sa'ad Zaghul, and the great events of the time - the rise of the WAFD party, the uprising of 1919, the murder of Sir Lee Stack and the Allenby ultimatum. He sheds new light on the strife of members of the High Commission among themselves and the Foreign Office, on the struggle between Egypt and Britain for ownership of the Sudan, on Egypt's fight for independence and on the failure of democracy to take root in the country.

Richard Long: Mirage

Richard Long

Richard Long is one of the most compelling and original of contemporary artists. In creating art based on the activity of walking, he has pioneered new ways of thinking about the relationship between the artist and his environment. In the range of his walks and in the scope of his international exhibitions, Richard Long has become an artist of the world, transcending the milieu of the 1960s avant-garde in which he first rose to prominence. Though his individual works are simple, cumulatively they form a body of work that is rich and complex, with a universal character. As Long himself says, '... the different forms of my work represent freedom and richness -- it's not possible to say "everything" in one way.' The integrity, purity and formal beauty of Richard Long's work are admired worldwide. In this book he presents chosen works from some thirty years of his response to landscapes both near and far, and a selection of some of his recent exhibitions.

A Walk Across England: A Walk of 382 Miles in 11 Days from the West Coast to the East Coast of England

Richard Long

Richard Long belongs to a generation of artists who from the mid-sixties helped to re-define the boundaries of art practice. By making his work simply by walking in the landscape, he brought a great increase in scale and space, and the dimension of time, as well as rich conceptual potential, to a work of art. He also found the freedom to make sculptures along the way in the reality of the different land surfaces which cover the planet. As well as the medium of walking, Richard Long uses the basic elements of the natural world - stones, mud and water, usually in the simple and poetic form of lines and circles. He has made works in the landscapes of all the continents except Antarctica, and since 1968 he has exhibited his work in galleries and museums around the world, from Reykjavik to Kyoro. Teresa Bjornson and Jerry Sohn of Children's Library Press in Venice, California, invited Richard Long to create a book that, in its spirit and in its execution, would appeal to children as well as adults. A Walk Across England is Richard Long's beautiful and poetic answer to this request.
