For Thursday Art Day we look at a selection of glorious drawings by Carle Vernet. I had not seen these subjects before but I immediately fell in love with the expression and detail of each individual horse.
“A writer — and, I believe, generally all persons — must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art.”
Jorge Luis Borges
