The Horse Tamers against the sky, 1937

From low down, the camera looks up at the Horse Tamers against a pale, cloudy sky: first the blocky, cubic mass of one horse with its head raised, then the other group, a naked man bracing himself against the flank of a rearing horse. Scharff's heavy, simplified forms, man and animal locked in struggle, matched the monumental scale of the exhibition grounds.
