Milk River (Wooden Horse Sculpture)

Milk River is a 2019 bronze sculpture standing 87 inches tall, a gift from Samuel G. Rose to the public. Deborah Butterfield crafted Milk River by collecting driftwood pieces and then casting each one in bronze before reassembling them and painting the metal fragments. The artwork's name originates from a Montana river where she often works. Unlike most art depictions of horses, which are typically male stallions, Butterfield creates mares. She explains that her goal is to produce "big beautiful mares" that possess both strength and power as well as the ability to give life and nurture it, reflecting a deeply personal statement. The horse has been an enduring image in art since ancient times, even appearing in cave paintings at Lascaux. Within this long history of equine representation, Butterfield's mares hold a unique position - they are not workhorses, transportation animals, or warhorses. Her sculptures serve as vibrant and noble reminders of humanity's past close connection with nature. Situated within the Presidential Grove at The Reach in Washington D.C.'s Kennedy Center, Milk River is a striking tribute to our heritage.
