Roalf leads readers on a personal gallery tour of 19 favorite paintings of horses. From the work of an unknown prehistoric artist to Raphael, Renoir, Manet, Gauguin, Frederic Remington, Diego Rivera, and others, each artist's vision and interpretation of the horse is unique. Some immortalize the strength and power that results from the partnership formed between horse and jockey and a warrior and his mount. Others celebrate the animals' sheer physical beauty and the intense love their owners felt for them. The diversity of these paintings in theme, style, and technique reveals how different one painter's vision can be from another's. This book inspires young readers to observe their world and to use their imagination to see like a painter.Roalf, Peggy is the author of 'Horses ', published 1992 under ISBN 9781562823061 and ISBN 156282306X.
