A horse is the projection of peoples’ dreams about themselves – strong, powerful, beautiful – and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.
– Pam Brown
Horses have been an ever present motif in art since the beginning of time - quite literally. You find horses in the over 17,0000 year old cave paintings at Lascaux, famous paintings of world leaders from every period in time (including the modern interpretation by Kehinde Wiley, for example), and in every child’s sketch book. Our love of, and fascination with horses could be because they are simply powerful, majestic, and empathic.
Whatever the reason - humans and horses are connected. This exhibit features work by Center artist members Jennifer Nichols, Alyssa Hartley, and Bill Wright as well as the work of acclaimed contemporary Texas photographers Keith Carter, Allison V Smith, and Nancy Newberry. Also included are works by historic photographers Bank Langmore and Wilfred Dudley Smithers.
