Drawn in Fine Hatching on fluent lines here the horses are battling against some dark cave front which seems to be sucking them in and disgorging their dismembered limbs around.
In a drawing of 1973 the horses are no longer the gracefully shining and elegantly trotting animals of his early harcoals. Drawn in fine hatching and fluent lines, here they are battling against some dark cave-front which seems to be sucking them in and disgorging their dismembered limbs around.
