The Horse: From Cave Paintings to Modern Art

"From cavemen, who regarded the horse simply as a game animal, to contemporary creators of art installations, who treat the horse as a creature of fantasy," writes Joe Fargis in his foreword, "there is a continuity, a historic continuum that is amply demonstrated by the contributions to this volume." This gorgeous slipcased volume celebrating the horse in human culture—with more then 300 photographs and color reproductions, up to 21 x 12 3/4 inches—takes readers from the caves at Lascaux to the European racetracks of Degas and the American West of Frederic Remington, exploring how the horse has never ceased to inspire the human imagination.
