Walter de Maria is an American sculptor and composer. Let's stop for a moment, before we get to involved in the sculpture to the left, to talk about the fact that this man is a sculptor AND a composer. I just think that is beautiful. I would love to read his journals! The Lightning Field was created in 1977 and is de Maria's best-known work. It consists of 400 stainless steel posts arranged in a calculated grid over an area of 1 mile × 1 km. It lights up during thunder storms, as can be seen in the image.
