Created in the 1940s, this charcoal drawing reveals the direct influence of his time in Paris and his affinity with the figurative avant-garde. The artist does not simply outline the animal; he uses charcoal to \"sculpt\" the figure against a dark, enveloping background, a tenebrist technique that projects the horse toward the viewer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e The subject is a horse in a \u003cb\u003eHigh School\u003c\/b\u003e pose, executing a high step or the beginning of a rearing \u003ci\u003emaneuver\u003c\/i\u003e .

I'm drawn to the horse's gaze; there's an intelligence and a fierceness in its posture that Serrano has captured beautifully. The background isn't just filler; those abstract shapes behind it suggest a storm, dust, or the darkness of a stable, which makes the animal shine even more.
