Ugo Guidi, Horses in the stable (1971)

coloured terracotta, h. 24x15x6 cm
Forte dei Marmi, Museo Ugo Guidi

The stable is a smooth terracotta wall, on which there are two chinks, two little windows: two muzzles of two horses are leaning out of these windows. This is a rapid description of Horses in the stable, realized after some 1971 drawings in which the horses in their stables are the protagonists. It is a unique work in Guidi's production: the horse is studied in its home, ready for use. There are no anatomic details but the muzzles so the expression of the horses: in the right horse is only rough-hewed and is vacant in the left horse.
