About the Item

Arne Charles Besser (1935-2012) was a Mid-Century Gay American Realist Painter whose work showed in galleries throughout Europe and North America. This 1970s painting showcases Besser's ability to capture the intricacies of human and animal figures, with the musculature of the horse and nude male rider rendered with a tortured detail to create a strong contrast between highlight and shadow on the body.
