Description
A delightful gift book celebrating the dogs in Tate's collection. This charming publication showcases the most endearing and amusing depictions of dogs drawn from the museum's holdings. The book is divided into key themes, each introducing a selection of works by renowned artists, including Edwin Henry Landseer, Sidney Nolan, Chris Killip, Giacomo Amiconi, Hamo Thornycroft, William Hogarth, Joshua Reynolds, Cedric Morris, Peter Doig, and Edward Ruscha. Brief introduction texts provide background detail on the art, artists, and their subjects. The result is a fascinating journey through the visual portrayal of canines in Western art, featuring paintings, drawings, sculptures, illustrations, and installations that often touchingly depict dogs as hunter, signifier of status, and friend.
