The Big Horse 1931

"The Big Horse" is an etching by Stanley William Hayter, created in 1931. The print depicts a horse in a simplified, almost abstract style, with its form outlined by a series of flowing lines. The artist’s signature "S.W. Hayter" and the date "31" are visible in the lower right corner. This artwork showcases the artist's exploration of line and form, which is characteristic of his artistic approach. The use of hatching and cross-hatching for the horse’s body and the ground adds texture and depth to the piece. "The Big Horse" is a quintessential example of Stanley William Hayter's style and his contribution to the development of printmaking in the 20th century.
