A brief history of horse art

Some of the first depictions of horses were found on the walls of the Lascaux caves in France. Over the centuries, artists have artists been exploring the horse anatomy in artful ways and using it as a symbol of power and industry. So much so that horse imagery has also become synonymous with representations of masculinity and militarism. Today, horses are rarely still used to convey these ideas. Instead, they’re much more likely to be part of a nostalgic scene longing for rural areas and countrysides.

One of the most iconic images of a horse is George Stubbs’ Whistlejacket which became renowned for its scale and its lack of background imagery, which was very unique for an image created in 1762 and his painting has been reproduced and reprinted endlessly ever since. Joan Miro, who’s artworks can be found everywhere from scatter cushions to magazine pullouts, used a show horse in Horse, Pipe and Red Flower. He famously painted this piece after his return from a trip to Paris where he was influenced by the avant-garde paintings he had seen.
