A delightful gift book celebrating dogs - in all their varied splendour - as depicted in Western art
Dogs have been the animal companion of choice for millenia. For just as long artists have been capturing their position as hunter, signifier of status or fidelity, religious image of purity and above all, loyal friend. From pampered pooches to working dogs, moping mutts to stately hounds, this delightful book brings together a selection of endearing, thoughtful and amusing images of dogs. Including a wide variety of work from artists including Edwin Henry Landseer, Sidney Nolan, Chris Killip, Giacomo Amiconi, Hamo Thornycroft, William Hogarth, Joshua Reynolds, Cedric Morris, Peter Doig and Edward Ruscha, images of compassion, bravery, loyalty and joy accompanied by short, insightful texts, track how the dog has influenced artists around the world, and shed light on our relationship with these sentient, emotional creatures. Featuring images that are sometimes traditional, sometimes contemporary, often touching and occasionally telling, this book is a joyful visual journey through the portrayal of canines in Western art, and is the perfect homage to man's best friend.
