Reuven Rubin: Galloping Horses
“From the late 1950’s, running horses became a favorite subject of Rubin.

“Living at Church Farm in Swainsthorpe from around 1903 until 1911, Munnings often rode with the Norwich Staghounds: ‘Hunting became a part of my life, and I saw many things on those days: bright winter sunlight on clipped horses and scarlet coats; on bare trees; stacks; on farmhouse gables; the riding out after a slight…

A Little Mozart, A Little Munnings
“Munnings frequently experimented with this theme of a huntsman manoeuvering through thick brush approaching a bank or ditch and this is typical of his style at this date. His own hunting experiences often inspired his vision and it is probable that this horse is ‘the brown mare’ whom Munnings describes in his memoirs as ‘a…

Sir Alfred James Munnings: Jogging On (1912)
“Munnings often used his own horses and groom as models and this horse, Patrick, despite his cropped tail and banged mane, was a particular favourite. On this grey day, the artist used a subdued palette yet adds life and brightness by juxtaposing the scarlet of the huntsman’s jacket with the close vivid hues of green…

The Gypsy Roan – The Peaceful Pub
There is a storm gale in her eyes and the stillness of her mane waiting to gust the field in leaf-red motion. Her back carries the weight of my mind — seated light, set to inhale the morning chase. She seeks that strain of abandon I love — a brisk wind enflamed by trees, stories […]…
