Cowboy and Horses

Mediums: oil, canvas.
Location: The Museum of Modern Art, Stockholm (Sweden).

In an extensive catalogue for the exhibition, the artist explained that the form is genuine if “it comes out from internal coercion, the desire to make the bridge between one’s feeling and expression as short as possible.” Then the creator “should be called an Expressionist, Cubist, or Futurist”. But names are words, and “a living spirit controls lines and spots; the artist sounds, and this is art.” Each centimeter of the canvas sounds in the composition with the cowboy – the master conveys both movement and emotion, not only of humans, but also of animals. To do this, he creates images and concocts a special rhythm of the whole plot.
