Since completing the
preparation for the Glasgow exhibition, I have been looking at the drawings, paintings
and sculpture of Marino Marini (1901-1980), who was a tremendous horse artist, as well as portrait artist. He worked in an expressionist way, going far
beyond the directly figurative Western tradition of equestrian art, and he was evidently inspired by the forms of
the Chinese horse sculptors, as well as primitve artists from Etruscan period.
