Galloping Riders in Front of a Big Top, um 1910-1912
About the object
Full of energy, the horses gallop with their mounts towards an obstacle; some of them are already about to jump. Rudolf Großmann captures the movement of the horses, as if a study of movement in itself, from different angles and viewpoints. The brushstrokes have been quickly executed, watercolours fill the areas and place accents and highlights. Circus wagons are visible in the background and a circus tent obscures the view of the urban backdrop.
