Zoran Mušič

Donne con cavalli

1950

A hauntingly evocative composition by Slovenian-Italian master Zoran Mušič, *Donne con cavalli* (Women with Horses) unites two of the artist's most beloved recurring motifs in a dreamlike, earthy scene. Rendered in his characteristically muted, ochre-toned palette, the figures and animals seem to emerge organically from the landscape, blurring the boundaries between human, animal, and earth. The work reflects Mušič's deep connection to the Dalmatian countryside and his lifelong exploration of primal, timeless subjects rooted in memory and the cycles of existence.
