So how do I describe this subject genre?

[John Kasaian]

Sculptural details, sculptural elements, deconstructed sculpture, elements of a sculpture. This way you give the work of art credit as whole, but also note that you are showing only parts of it.

Best answer yet. Thanks!

I can't tell if this is a riddle or one of your worst threads ever, john

Don't make me start reminiscing about the frozen turkey pinhole camera

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?

George Tice photographed enough Lincoln statues to make an exhibit and a book. You'll think of the right name, but it needs to be....right. Can't be "Iron Horses," but that might be a hint. "Equestrians," perhaps. Frozen in Bronze. Bronze Horses. Steeds. Standing Steeds. Steeds of Bronze. Bronzed Steeds. Foundry Steeds.

Where are the art critics when we need them? Post-Pliohippine? Post-Post-Eohippine? Pre-Hippyine?

[Mark Sawyer]

I think you need more than a single image to define a genre...

I'd search to see if that thread exists but I'm
I'm scared that it does

Will it be part of a larger group of images? It's a lot easier to talk about genre when you've got a body work. In isolation you might as well just call it a picture of a statue.

This is a question I'd rather not be saddled with. ;-)

But all it takes is a little horse sense. ;^)

Maybe call it a "detail study."

For example: "Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius, Rome, 176 C.E., detail study."

I'd include at least one image of the full work that also shows its surroundings.

For any image of the horse's tail, be sure to call it "de tail."

I've seen many other photographs detailing statutes so I wondered if there was a "genre" or term I might use like "detail of a tail."
