In China, the name of the painter Xu Beihong is almost known to every one. He was skillful in painting horse. The paintings of horses by him are unique. All the horses in his paintings whether they are running, standing, drinking or in group are filled with strong vigor of life. He liked the makings of the wild horses that are free and bold. His horses have hardly saddles and no reins on. In this way, the horses look very magnificent and handsome from the appearance and the artist has mastered the wild nature of the horses exactly. He said, “The greatest achievement is to describe the nature of everything.” He knew the horses’ structure and habit quite well. All the horses in his paintings have big nostrils because he thought the horses with big nostrils have a big vital capacity, so that they could run powerfully for a longer time. The legs of the horses are contrastingly long for he thought the horses with long legs can run faster. He often used hard brush to paint the main’s points of swift movements to make it clear and beautiful. Xu Beihong’s running horses are stubborn, intractable and unrestrained and always make people sour-stirring. They are romantic in realism. The horses are not only the symbolization of the artist’s painting style, but also a kind pursue for a spirit and an ode to the freedom and passion.
