λ JONATHAN KENWORTHY (BRITISH B.1943) SEIZING THE INITIATIVE Bronze Signed, dated 80 and numbered 5/7 and with Meridian Bronze foundry stamp 35 x 36 x 26cm (13¾ x 14 x 10in.) Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist in October 1980 Exhibited: One of the edition: New York, Coe Kerr Gallery, Horsemen of the Hindu Kush , 1979 Literature: Jonathan Kenworthy, Sculpture and Works on Paper , no. 75, pp. 88, 92 (one of the edition illus.) In 1977, on my way to Nepal to see tiger, I stopped off in Afghanistan. Here, beyond the legendary mountains of the Hindu Kush, I found a captivating world. This is a landscape where the horse is still an integral part of life. The Uzbeks, the Turkomans and the Mongols who live in the Northern Provinces of Afghanistan show the same independence of spirit as the desert nomads of Northern Kenya. This combines perfectly with the wild, flowing movement of their horses when they ride out to play their game. Buzkashi is a horse game from the age of Genghis Khan, the Mongol conqueror who swept through Asia 700 hundred years ago. In it the mounted hordes showed their ferocity, their horses and their riding skills. The game is still played by the tough horsemen on the dusty steppes beyond the Hindu Kush. Over the years it has grown in popularity and acquired social importance. Using spirited stallions, derived from Mongol, Persian and Arab stock, Afghan landlords and horse breeders compete for personal standing through the mettle and agility of their animals. To ensure the best performances from their horses, expert riders called 'chapandaz' are employed. The finest of these are regarded as national heroes and are renowned for their feats of courage and skill. The horsemen have to snatch an object from the ground, carry it over a two-mile course and return to deliver it into a target circle. The quarry is the carcass of a goat or a calf. Extreme violence abounds to prevent the riders in possession from reaching the target. The horses are trained to kick and bite. Hooves, whips, arms and booted legs flail mercilessly in melees involving up to one hundred and fifty riders. Men and horses combine into the modern equivalent of centaurs creating whirls of movement in what must be the roughest sport in the world. (Jonathan Kenworthy 1979, quoted on his website).
