Rarin' to Go

1935

Alexandre Hogue

Associated Names

Alexandre Hogue

Artist, American, 1898 - 1994

The image depicts a series of bold, curving lines and shapes that form an abstract representation of a person and a house. The central figure has an elongated form and dynamic posture, similar to a horse. Linear, angular shapes construct a house with a roof and walls, resembling a barn-like structure. A person with a hat stands in a doorway, leaning against the framework. Dark, smudged lines suggest the ground, contrasting with lighter, cloudy forms.
