Horse

Arnold Peter Weisz-Kubínčan was an expressionist, tormented by internal unrest and search for identity for his whole life, which ended tragically in a Nazi concentration camp. Unsettling colour tensions and fluttering lines are palpable in his works, which powerfully demonstrate the hidden drama and an unseen rhythm of the landscape.

Kubínčan persistently depicted the strife for unity with nature and the desire for freedom, symbolised in one of his greatest works by the running (or flying) horse. Horses in motion are a repeating motif in Kubínčan's paintings and drawings, often in restless or defiant poses.
