The Andalusian Horse

From the rugged, hilly areas of the Iberian Peninsula

A gray coat, a muscular body, and a soft gentle rumble.

An athletic but docile, intelligent and noble true spanish horse.

... the noblest horse in the world, the most beautiful that can be. He is of great spirit and of great courage and docile; hath the proudest trot and the best action in his trot, the loftiest gallop, and is the lovingest and gentlest horse, and fittest of all for a king in his day of triumph. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;William Cavendish, the Duke of Newcastle, 1667

The Andalusian Horse

Published on Jul 15, 2020

A book I crafted for the Introduction to Imagemaking course by CalArts on Coursera. This book presents a quiet but contemplative narrative about the unique characteristics of the true Spanish horse. It begins by telling a story about the origins of the Andalusian horse. I played with the scale of the silhouette in comparison to the text and was surprised by the result. Moving on to the next spread, it shows an immediate zoom into the coat and unique texture of the horse. Finally, the last spread is very minimal because the running horse already creates a sense of motion and athleticism, which is a major feature of this horse. I ended with a final quote, written by a royal duke, about the Andalusian horse. This gives a hint about the historical role Andalusian horses played.
