Xu Beihong's masterpiece Eight Horses depicts eight horses with different shapes, which is Xu Beihong's early works. The author used vigorous and powerful pen and hearty ink. Although the horses are painted, they look like a group of live horses flying in front of us.

Look, the strong black horse running on the left, the speed is like the wind, the mane on the neck stands up like a needle, the hooves fly, the hind feet are off the ground, and the image is free and unrestrained, not subject to any constraints.

Look at that galloping horse with its tail cocked high on the right. It is agile and full of energy. Its head tilted to the left, looking at the distance between itself and the horse running in front, its eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a trace of contempt, as if to say to the dark horse, "Hey, what are you proud of?" I'll pass you in a minute! "

The last horse, far behind, saw only one head. Although we don't see its body, we can feel unyielding from its eyes, struggling to catch up with the horse running in front, full of fighting spirit, without losing the glory of a general!

The eight horses depicted in Eight Horses have their own characteristics and postures, and many of them are art treasures. With a thick and light pen, the author shows the figure of the horse without affecting the charm of the pen and ink, and vividly depicts the heroic spirit of the horse.
