Cavalleria Eroica 1987

"Arman, born in Nice in 1928, is one of few artists, figured in Art History as a contemporary master. 

Cavalleria Eroica shows the dynamics and rhythm of a galloping horse with its head raised high and hooves flying to give out a soaring 'touch and go' virility that demonstrates the spirit of city promising ambition and aggressiveness as well as a goal to march toward without hesitation."
