I like this art work first of all because it is very simple! It is different from other art works that I've searched for this topic. Plus, I love the movement of the guy and the horse in the picture. It is very lively and somehow funny to me. The artwork is actually very interesting. If you notice, the guy in the picture seem helpless with the angry horse but he is actually controlling the horse and the horse is the only one which has to follow the guy direction.
