Horse Figure 1940

Hester Duany's 1940 "Horse Figure" is a simplified, stylized representation of a horse carved from wood. The sculpture's form is characterized by bold, geometric shapes and a focus on the animal's essential features. The artist's choice of wood as a material, combined with the deliberate simplicity of the design, evokes a sense of naturalism and primitive art. The work is a fine example of Duany's artistic style, which often explored themes of nature and the animal kingdom.
