artist: Paul Degen (24 March 1941 – 30 May 2007) was a Swiss illustrator, caricaturist, painter and sculptor. He is mostly known for the cartoons he did for The New York Times and his 34 title illustrations for The New Yorker magazine in the 1970s and 1980s
It's NO coincidence that Mr. Degen was illustrator AND sculptor....That's why he did not miss the horse in the sculpture
