BEWARE OF THE HORSE!
There is always a row when horses enter into any widely observed work of art, says the "Manchester Guardian." Sculptors invariably do something wrong when they set to work on a gee-gee; think of the embattled bust-up that was provoked by the supposed charger of Sir Douglas Haig. It certainly was a bit of an oddity and thousands of indignant hippophiles wrote in haste to say so. TV rash artist who did the designs for the pony express stamps of the United States might have known that he would be "for it." What the swastika is to the "Guardian" the horse is to painters (all except Degas and Munnings), sculptors, designers, and arty folk generally—the poor things "take a toss" with monotonous regularity as soon as they start to go horsy.
