1992 ~Camargue lines, bold colors, movement! Art

I did this piece in College at Faulkner University in Huntsville, Alabama
I chose this piece of art for its lines, movement, and bold colors!

This piece of art is a powerful use of illusions of energy and grace.
The unique line style is a precise, elegant topography of motion.
This piece expresses life and motion.
The subject is not the piece's primary focus, but the artist is trying to bring it to life through the vertical placement of lines in the horse's hair.

The artist uses contour hatching on the horse's body and cross-hatching in the surrounding spaces.
The artist used bold colors that give the horse movement.
He uses blue/green on his body, pink/black on his mane, and purple/pink on his legs.

The horse's body stands out in contrast to its surroundings, which show motion.

Why do I like this piece?
The use of bold colors and the way the artist brings life to each line he draws.
The horse represents life, the struggle for survival. This picture would bring life and color to a very dull room.
Even a child would enjoy this colorful piece.

The Camargue horse is an ancient breed indigenous to the Camargue region of southern France.
