"From the outset I felt quite strongly that I wanted to celebrate the
horse in its own right." --Tim Flach, photographer
No animal has captured the human imagination quite like the horse,
depicted in media from cave drawings thousands of years ago through
countless renderings in paint, clay, ink, even film. Award-winning
photographer Tim Flach's quest to document the horse has resulted in
Equus, an intensely moving look at an animal--as solitary subject and
en masse, from the air and from underwater--whose history is so
powerfully linked to our own.
From exquisite Arabians in the Royal Yards of the United Arab Emirates
to purebred Icelandic horses in their glacial habitat; from the soulful
gaze of a single horse's lash-lined eye to the thundering majesty of
thousands of Mustangs racing across the plains of Utah, Equus provides
an amazing and unique insight into the physical dynamics and spirit of
the horse.
