Lot Essay

My horses like lightening, cut across many horizons. Seldom their hooves are shown. They hop around the spaces. From the battlefield of "Karbala" to Bankura terracota, from the Chinese Tse pei Hung [Xu Beihong] horse to St. Marco horse, from ornate armoured "Duldul" to challenging white of “Ashwamedh" [...] the cavalcade of my horses is multidimensional. — M.F. Husain
