Brasilier, Milan: Skira, 2014, pp. 14 - 1: Their bodies merge into an ornamental whole, become incarnations of the “elan vital” and are transformed into symbols of noble elegance and cultivated freedom. There reappears the age-old myth of the horse and its rider, the horse as the crowning glory of a nature ennobled by man. In their highly symbolic form, reduced to the lowest pictorial common denominator, they manage to engender inner images and awaken memories. It is less the brilliant instantaneous images, enchanted by the movement of Edgar Degas that the paintings of Brasilier recall; they are rather reminiscent of the ancient motif of the horse trainer, a Nestor for example, which Homer makes appear in the third canto of his Odyssey, or of horses whose representation makes a great impression: the horses of Marly or the couriers of San Marco.
