The Horse, has it played a central part in Polish iconography?
In Mexico a lot of traditional songs are about fine horses and traitorous women.
The war against the soviets I understand that.
18 years of freedom is the same span of time between the Warsaw rising and my birth, it seems such a short period of time now.
What I may be looking for is Poland’s Guernica, Poland’s Goya, an explanation of what makes the people tick. What is it that makes Poles such a proud nation?
In Ireland its cutting turf, growing spuds, keeping out of the rain, telling stories. Then the arty stuff.....Writers, musicians, not so much painters.
A good image of Ireland in the 80's was the Pony kept in an urban environment. That image is both a throwback to times past and an indicator of the clash of times to come. Yet the image says more than that.
