“Raymond Duchamp-Villon (b. 1876) was a French sculptor who served as an auxiliary doctor in a cavalry regime during World War I. The Horse, a dynamic sculpture casted in bronze, developed from his studies of a leaping horse and rider during his time in the calvary. In the composite image of animal and machine, the tension between the mechanistic and the natural world echoes that between solid bronze and the fluid representation of movement through both geometric and organic shapes.”
