Equus I
What first impresses us about “Equus I” is the beauty and simplicity of the linework. The artist who created this “Circus Horse” demonstrated his competence and mastery of pigment application and line making the viewer’s eye travel around the amply shaped horse. Using a well known technique of incomplete lines he allows the viewer’s eye to fill in the missing lines. A 37 cm painting on rock at the Le Portel Cave in France.
