Husain intended the powerful depiction of the horse
to signify grace and freedom. The artist stated, “My
horses, like lightning, cut across many horizons.
Seldom their hooves are shown. They hop around the
spaces. From the battlefield of “Karbala” to Baukura
terracota, from the Chinese Tse pei Hung horse to
St. Marco horse, from ornate armoured “Duldul” to
challenging white of “Ashwamedh”... the cavalcade
of my horses is multidimensional.”
