Horse That Took the Wrong Turning- At Epsom
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and humorous artwork by the renowned British artist H.M. Bateman, created in 1931. This print showcases a maverick horse galloping in the opposite direction of the rest of the race at Epsom, a famous horse racing venue in England. Bateman, known for his popular and prolific career, regularly contributed to prominent publications such as The Sketch, The Tatler, and The Bystander. His efficient and bold style, which brilliantly depicted social faux pas, was groundbreaking for its time. The horse in this print, with its determined stride and puzzled expression, stands out against the backdrop of the chaotic racecourse. The other horses and jockeys are shown in a state of confusion and disbelief, as they try to make sense of the horse's unexpected behavior. Bateman's use of satire and wit is evident in the way he captures the moment, making it a reflection of the period's social norms and quirks. The artwork's title, "Horse That Took the Wrong Turning," adds to the amusing narrative, as it suggests the horse's mistake and the unexpected turn of events. Bateman's work continues to be a brilliant reflection of the period, showcasing the humor and social commentary that defined the era. This print is a testament to Bateman's talent and his ability to capture the essence of the human condition through his art.
