    So how do I describe this subject genre?

    I've become intrigued by an old equestrian statue, not so much the entire statue (although it is pretty dang slick) but the details, which I find incredibly beautiful all on their own.
    But the elements of the horse and rider will still look like the elements of an equestrian statue, so it wouldn't be an abstract.
    What do I call it?

    Most abstracts are simply close-ups of identifiable objects so

    Sure that's not your own horse you forgot to feed, that mummified in the summer heat? Gosh, back in the old Clovis days they'd hang you for even using a term
    like "equestrian". No authentic cowboy could even pronounce something like that!

    B...b...but it's supposed to better Art if you can't pronounce it---isn't that what POMO is all about?

    Well if you take a picture of the south end of the horse facing north I guess you could put it in the nude section.
