Title: Heidi's horse
First published: 1976
Description: Heidi's Horse is an analysis of a child's artistic life. It reveals that in their drawings all children sequentially obey universal imperatives which are identical to those in the history of mankind's art. It demonstrates that art is a second language: logical, orderly, systematic, abstract, subtle, serious and humorous; a way to say something about the world that words can't say.
