“From the late 1950’s, running horses became a favorite subject of Rubin. Sarah Wilkinson writes that that the artist was inspired by the Bedouin horsemen galloping in the desert and these paintings were different than most of the artist’s works. “They are not tranquil in spirit, but filled with turbulence, as if the horses, now riderless, are driven onward by unknown forces. He uses color arbitrarily: the horses are in blues, while the background, with a huge moon, is in greens, or the horses are in reds and the background in purples. The horses are delineated by thin contour lines, but so masterly is Rubin’s draftsmanship that the forms have real solidity.” (Sarah Wilkinson, Reuven Rubin, New York, n.d., p. 91)”

Beautiful horses, and I am listening to the song as I am commenting. Lovely. I’ve always loved harmony with deep bass voices added. I remember the song from when I was very young. I still listen to my Simon and Garfunkel CD’s. I also have a vinyl album of theirs, and how could I forget the beginning of The Graduate?
