Houyhnhnms
Oil on canvas -
36 X 60 X 2 inches -
The Houyhnhnms, apparently, is similar to a common horse. However, these wonderful creatures have a surprising use of reason and unlike human beings, they have absolutely no instinct, or at least, they have been able to submit it, completely, to the reason. When Gulliver discovered these creatures in the fourth part of the book "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift, the man ceased to be the measure of all things. This horse, or Houyhnhnms, takes a look into human nature. Let us shipwreck to the country of the Houyhnhnms! There, they coexist with the yahoo, a kind of involuted human being and lacking of intellectual level. In that country, horses are rational beings and Yahoo would come to be the equivalent of us.The Houyhnhnms use the Yahoo like servants and they raise them under their imperium, although they are considered inferior and repugnant beings. The Houyhnhnms do not know the word "lie" because its total submission to reason doesn't let say what they call "the thing that it's not". For the Houyhnhnms, the mere fact of lying is contrary to reason.
