About this work

This image shows a black horse standing on a patchwork of old newspaper clippings. The horse’s legs are blurred, and its body is solid and dark against the faded text. Ads for things like horse races and lottery pools fill the background, peeking through the horse’s shape. The artist cut out and rearranged newspaper to create this collage-style piece. It’s like the horse is stepping out of the past, made from headlines and ads. Check out more about lithography to see how this print was made.
