John Skeaping: I Draw As Though I Were A Horse Writing His Autobiography

Overview

"Today we are not as dependent on animals as we once were. Our approach to animals is largely based on sentiment - we like to credit them with human intelligence - and animal art has come to be regarded as a lower form of art." John Skeaping believes passionately that animal art can only survive if it is based on the true relationship between man and beast. In his One Pair of Eyes Skeaping describes his search for such a relationship and why he believes he has found it among the bulls and horses of the Camargue, in the South of France, where he lives and works.
