Stan Herd (born 1950 in Protection, Kansas)〔http://plainshumanities.unl.edu/encyclopedia/doc/egp.art.031〕 is an American crop artist and painter〔http://www.southwindartgallery.com/estore/cid-44-1-Artist_Stan_Herd.html〕 who creates images, or earthworks, on large areas of land, especially in Kansas. His work is sometimes called living sculpture. He plots his designs and then executes them by planting, mowing, and sometimes burning, or plowing the land. Two of Herd's first Kansas installations were the portraits of Kiowa War Chief Satanta (1981) and Will Rogers (1983). These artworks can be seen in Herd's 1994 book on crop art.〔''Crop Art and Other Earthworks.'' Stan Herd. New York: Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 1994〕 He is associated with the Prairie Renaissance Movement. Herd's website includes photos of his work and a list of some of the media coverage of his various projects, including an article in ''Smithsonian'' magazine〔''Smithsonian'' vol 25 no 4. July 1994 "Stan Herd's Card Should Read Crop Artist". Jim Robbins. pp.70-77〕 and National Geographic's ''World'' magazine (1988).〔National Geographic's ''World'' magazine, July 1988: "Lookout! Art Below"〕 Herd made several trips to Havana to create ''Rosa Blanca'' in 2001,〔()〕 an image of a white rose in honor of the 19th-century Cuban poet José Martí. Herd's work has been seen on ''CBS Sunday Morning''; Fox Television's ''Breakfast Time''; ''Dateline NBC''; ''CNN News''; ABC's ''Good Morning America''; and National Public Radio's ''All Things Considered''. An installation Herd completed in 1994, ''Countryside'', which was an image of a pastoral Kansas landscape on an acre of property owned by Donald Trump in New York City, is the subject of an independent film by Chris Ordal called ''Earthwork''.〔()〕〔http://www2.ljworld.com/photos/galleries/2006/jun/23/stan_herds_countryside/〕 The film's Kansas premiere, in Herd's adopted hometown of Lawrence, took place September 10, 2010, at the Lawrence Arts Center. ''Earthwork'' won awards at more than 50 film festivals in the United States alone. Filmed on location in Lawrence and New York City, it tells the true story of Herd's transformation of a large, trash-strewn, barren lot near a graffiti-laced underground railway tunnel inhabited with the homeless, into ''Countryside''. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stan Herd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
