Description
|
|
|
|
From primary subjects to supporting characters, and even employed as symbols, dogs have long figured prominently in painting, sculpture, works on paper, and photography. This catalog spotlights 60 works by such artists as Francis Bacon, Gustave Courbet, Salvador Dalí, Lucian Freud, Thomas Gainsborough, Edouard Manet, Andy Warhol, William Wegman, and Andrew Wyeth, among many other examples from the 16th century to the 21st. Essays discuss the dog in the context of art, examine depictions of purebreds and how breeds have developed and changed over the years, and outline the results of scientific inquiry into the nature of dogs.
