Guillaume Azoulay Signed Etching  La Chevauchee  Horse
This is an etching by artist Guillaume Azoulay, portraying a wildly galloping herd of horses, with figures behind them. This wild action is enhanced by the artist's flowing lines making up the horses' bodies, and criss-crossing lines in the background. The horses are so close together the entire image has become somewhat abstract.

Guillaume Azoulay (Morocco, b. 1949) is a self taught artist who began selling his artwork by the age of thirteen. His style developed into one of impeccable detail and fluid forms. He treats forms as undulating landscapes, while light is translated as beams. He has since held major exhibits in Rome, Copenhagen, Monte Carlo, Reno, Paris, Tel-Aviv and many other cities. In 1978 two of his works were accepted into the permanent collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, making the self-taught artist the youngest artist to be accepted in the permanent archives of that prestigious museum. His works are found in the collections of former President Ronald Reagan, Francois Mitterand, the late Anwar Sadat, King Hassan II of Morocco, the late Prince Rainier and Prince Karim Aga Khan.
