unpublished: The First Horse

"The first sight of those paintings was simply unbelievable," Morse says. "I was amazed at how the colors held up after thousands and thousands of years -- like they were just painted the day before! Most people don't realize how huge some of the paintings are. There are pictures of animals there that are ten, fifteen feet long, and more." Above: An unpublished Ralph Morse photograph of what he described, in his notes on the assignment, as a "very important horse" that may well be "the first example anywhere of drawing in modern perspective. Regard the turn of the head, placing of ears, and shading to [suggest three dimensions]. Neck appears exaggerated because it conforms to contour of rock, which is impossible to show in photo."
