Taming a Horse 1930s

Cyprián Majerník made "Taming a Horse" using watercolor, and pencil, and it feels raw, like it just came into being, shifting and emerging through trial, error, and intuition. I can almost feel Majerník’s hand moving across the paper, smearing the browns and blues together. He's trying to capture a wild energy, a struggle between man and beast. Look how the horse rears up, its mouth open in a silent scream. The figure is muscular, his body contorted as he pulls on the reins. The paint is thin in some areas, allowing the paper to show through, while in others, it’s layered and thick, creating a sense of depth and texture. That single stroke of blue, like a splash of water, it adds a touch of drama. Majerník, like all artists, converses across time, inspiring our creativity. There are no fixed or definitive readings here. Instead, there is ambiguity and uncertainty.
