Lately I’ve been focusing a lot on horse artists and photographers, so I thought why not check out photography of horse art? To top it all off I went straight for the unusual, and believe it or not there is a lot of it out there.

It is interesting to see how many of the greats of the art world appreciated (and enjoyed drawing) the mighty horse.
As I started researching it further I was surprised at how often the equine animal is and was used as a subject. Picasso shows a variety of styles very clearly in his horse images, many of which depict horses in the bullring.
