La Posada Harlequins

After a visit to Argentina, Farnsworth created this larger-than-life-size painting depicting a tight-knit troop of Harlequin horses surrounding their bell mare, or lead mare. His use of a large-scale format and close-up cropping alludes to his interest in Pop Art. This piece, as are all his works, was completed using his three pigment system; blue, red, and yellow. Farnsworth has cultivated and mastered this system over the last several decades, referring to it as his “(un)limited palette.”
