 Amazon, by Wassily Kandinsky (Russia). 1917. Reluctant Horse
Amazon rider in gown flowing and shadowed and emerald like a rainforest river sits astride steed marvels at the world-- waves of midnight soil flowers with undulating stems cold expanse between her and roseate hills raspberry sky two-faced moon-- a world now hers too while reluctant horse mopes head pulling against reins in her hand.
