Horse Art
On the subject of horses in horse art, their form has dominated the art world thought time. Because the horse has been a part of mans ever forward development, that could not have happened as fast if it were not for the horse. Whether the artist was focusing on a particular scene, or people. The horse was more there than not. They were our transport and a necessity in our early lives. Though I don't think this is the real fascination that the horse art is as popular now as they were then, with artists and buyers alike. Much has changed, the artist may be faced with many different objects of the modern age to choose from.

It is the strength and the power of the horse that excites me, thinking of the speed and their many muscles that can be portrayed in art.

Gives the overall joining of man and beast in a union that has spanned centuries. "A work of art goes through many phases of development, but in each phase it is always a work of art. (Therein lies the importance of sketches.) A work of art is finished, from the point of view of the artist, when feeling and perception have resulted in a spiritual synthesis". - Hans Hofmann I have also found with my sculptures, that ok, many of my subjects lean towards horses, though they also seem to be the most popular with the public. I don't know if you have found this yourself, but I have. So in some ways they are also profitable. So we are going to find out the secrets of horse and art, how we will portray them in our art, which are more popular that others. And what people are seeking.
