The Passing of the Horse, by Stanley Wanlass
On Exhibit: Passing of the Horse, 1983
by Stanley Wanlass
An internationally known sculptor, designer, and painter, Stanley Wanlass' bronze monuments and memorials can be seen throughout the United States, including "End of the Trail," which honors the Lewis and Clark Expedition. His automotive bronzes are exhibited in prestigious museums and collections around the world.
Passing of the Horse, which celebrates the evolution of transportation, is part of an edition of thirty bronzes.
Wanlass' details evoke the thrill of motoring on the very cusp of change: An automobile races past a horse and rider. Motorists cling to their hats as the goggled driver leans in with determination. A dog tries to keep pace with the car to no avail, for the car moves quickly toward its destination. A boy and his friend look out over the horse and rider, who by now are becoming a distant memory. Picnic baskets on the sideboard appears to be fortified with celebratory food and drink.
