AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STORY -
Summer is a great time to explore the art spread across the Ada community – especially for viewers unable to visit art galleries elsewhere in Ohio.
As a weekly series, The Icon features the art located on The Remington Walk on the Ohio Northern University campus. For some viewers, this series is familiar. For others, it may be a first-time experience.
Either way, it’s an opportunity to take a walk and view some art that is uniquely Ada. The Walk is spread through campus and may be viewed by following the ONU walking path, beginning near Affinity Village, west of The Freed Center.
The information about the Remington Walk is provided by ONU.
This week's feature work
The Buffalo Horse – 1907 by Frederick Remington
A unique and challenging casting for a 3-tiered effect of a buffalo on two rear hoofs, topped by a horse and a dismounted Indian rider.
This inspirational balance is only achieved with the addition of the spear/lance as a frontal support as there is tremendous weight in this bronze.
This is Remington's only bronze of a buffalo.
The horse shows surprise in the eyes and open mouth and is Remington’s first instance to use both to show elements of surprise.
Remington’s painting, “Episode of a Buffalo Hunt,” was done a year later and the facial expressions of the horse resemble the bronze.
