Traylor often drew rabbits flying through the air, escaping, or simply running free. Sometimes their legs appear uncannily human-like, as if Traylor wanted to only thinly disguise its resemblance to a running man. In Untitled (Chase Scene), Traylor draws a distinct parallel between a rabbit and a fleeing man. Here a figure -- the only character painted in black -- runs for his life; alongside him, a rabbit matches his frantic pace as a bird above signals the hope of escape. The pair is pursued by a man in a hat and a dog; the predators hunt the prey. |
