Jacques Calonne (born 1930 in Mons) is a Belgian artist who became a member of CoBrA in 1949. In the 1950s he participated in some major exhibitions and venues of modern art and in 1957 he co-signed the "Manifesto against Style" with, amongst others, Serge Vandercam, Pierre Restany, Yves Klein, Roel d’Haese, and Pierre Alechinsky. This composition of a horse can be seen as one of his last semi-figurative works, after which he began to work on more abstract compositions.
