A lithograph is a print from a stone. Hassan El Glaoui’s featured lithograph represents one of his most favored themes and signature subjects, horses. According to the family lore, el Glaoui’s father, the Pasha, gave his ten-year-old son a pony, a symbol of military action. The gift, as well as the equestrian military tradition, sparked el Glaoui’s love for horses and the source of his artistic inspiration. In this lithograph, the three riders under a banner are evocative of el Glaoui’s larger compositions depicting Thouriba, where horse riders, like synchronized swimmers, advance together as one, pointing their weapons towards the sky. The work is representative of el Glaoui’s tendency to paint traditional Moroccan subjects in contemporary saturated color and semi-impressionistic fashion. ~ Irina Tarsis, Founder and Managing Director, Center for Art Law.
