"The Dog Show - Works by Gallery Artists"
2011-02-01 until 2011-02-26
First Street Gallery
New York, NY,
USA United States of America
First Street Gallery artists join the Westminster Kennel Club,
which holds its 135th Annual Dog Show on February 14th and 15th, in celebrating the dog. Gallery artists draw and paint dogs ranging from those of noble bearing and pure breed to those without titles but with boundless charm. First Street Gallery promotes their artists with a Gallery Portfolio at absolutearts.com.
Since pre-historic times, artists have lovingly portrayed dogs. Veronese has
dogs at the Last Supper; Titian presents them in their traditional role as a
symbol of fidelity at the feet of reclining nudes; Velasquez brings them into
the court; Lucian Freud's dogs circle close to his models. More than any
other animal, the dog tries to please human beings and, therefore, seems to
understand human wishes, signals, and feelings. As a result, we love them all
the more.
The artists in the show: Nancy Balliett, Sallie Benton, Ashley Norwood Cooper,
Teresa Dunn, Wendy Gittler, Penny Kronengold, Mari Lyons, Rallou Malliarakis,
Bonnie Miller, and Lisa Zwerling.
