Although contemporary art has
moved beyond the Pop art of yesteryear, the most influential
artists of the latter twentieth century have taken bold steps to
include dog art as a central theme in their artistic endeavors.
David Hockney, William Wegman, and George Rodrique, all still
alive today, have not arbitrarily juxtaposed canines in their
works but have put their furry friends on center stage – to soak
up the limelight, offering the art world new glimpse of man’s best
friend.
