Was Picasso a horseman?

You don't have to be a horse person to find horses beautiful. Artists around the world have created their own horses through a variety of mediums. It doesn't have to have a thousand pounds of muscle to be a horse: it just has to have four legs, four hooves, and a tail.


A driftwood horse sculpture has washed up on the beach!

A frozen Pegasus.


Frosty the SnowHorse!


A mighty rearing chestnut.

A steel stallion.


Maybe Picasso didn't ride horses, but that doesn't mean that artists can't appreciate their beauty. Through metal, stone, and wood, sculptors today are creating horses that will last for generations. (Well, except for those snow horses. They might melt.)
