Lion and Horse
1942
oil on canvas
Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum, Washington University in St. Louis, University purchase, Kende Sale Fund, 1946
A lion with red eyes and teeth circles a horse that raises his front legs in response. Tamayo's warring animals, which stand near a fallen column and beneath an unnatural green cloud, convey aggression and suggest the environmental aftermath of warfare. |
