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 will feature 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
Rattlesnake 1905
Also known as The Snake in the Path, Remington used a cowboy in wooly chaps to demonstrate total fear in this horse.
It's clear the rider fears being thrown from the saddle of a very fearful horse - an instinctive fear considering the size of the horse to the snake.
Remington shows the fearful in emotion in the mouth and eyes of the horse's head and also in the tail, which is tightly drawn against the body as indicative of fear.
