hodlers bull got horns but they are pointed towards the artist. he was a realist.
So it seems, but they are very discreet, and coat coloring really put me off - and remind it me of cows (small horns).
Is this it?:

If it wasn't for his dong...
Realist? I'm sorry, but I don't share that point of view (at least not for this piece). Most likely there were many cows outside his window.
It's all about the horns - the bigger, the better.
it is not really a point of view. it is a part of art nomenclature.
The works of Hodler's early maturity consisted of landscapes, figure compositions, and portraits, treated with a vigorous realism.
