Small Horse Series
An
important theme in Elaine's art is her ongoing Cavallo (horse)
series in tribute to Degas' small horse series and the Cavalieri
series of horse and rider by the Italian sculptor Marino Marini.
The most important element of Elaine's series is expressing the speed and
strength of the horses in various gaits and positions.
To
date, the series includes Agosto Cavalla
(August Mare), Cavalli Rampanti
(Reared Stallions), Cavalla Volante
(Flying Mare), Cavallo Nero (Black
Stallion) and Cavalla Caracollante (Prancing Mare). Cavalla
Caracollante is influenced by recent discoveries of Asian tomb horses.
All the horses display the characteristic simple lines and regal carriage
of the animal.
