Untitled (Horse) - Enrique Tudó, 1965

Description

Enrique Tudó

Untitled (Horse), 1965

–

In this 1965 composition, the figure of a horse emerges from energetic brushwork, dark passages and dense networks of drawn marks. The interplay of spontaneous gesture and animal form creates a striking sense of movement, with the force of the image extending beyond the contours of the subject.

The work offers an insight into the painting practice of Enrique Tudó, an artist active in Argentina during the second half of the twentieth century. His career encompassed both painting and sculpture: in 1960 he participated in 4 escultores, an exhibition associated with the Buenos Aires Museum of Modern Art, and decades later presented paintings at a gallery in Recoleta. This work approaches the horse through texture, line and gestural energy.
