“Everything in my paintings that frightens Canadians seems to appeal to Germans,” he said…
yes he is right. Never saw this painting “horse vs. train” – a great idea, I’ll never forget now this picture! We feel like the horse, isn’t it? Or is your empathy with the train? I could call the train chancellor Angela Merkel …
missing the train there – so I’m missing the main message!
Trains, well here Bruce is singing Night Train
