Dogs in Art

Here's a cute little chap: a paunchy terracotta pooch from Colima, Mexico, dated extremely vaguely at between 300 BC to 300 AD. Yanks can find this exhibit in the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut, which currently has two overlapping doggie exhibitions: The Nature of Dogs - a scientifically based exhibition - and Best in Show: Dogs in Art from the Renaissance to the Present. In the UK, today saw the end of another doggie exhibition Dogs: Man-Made Friends? at the Walter Rothschild Zoological Museum (the Tring Branch of London's Natural History Museum). What Coxsoft Art wants to know is: Why is London, which is home to the world's largest and most prestigious dog show, ignoring the pooch? Come on London, take the Bruce Museum as an example. Spurn all that imported modern-art tripe that depresses genuine art lovers and give us our own version of Dogs in Art. Click the title link to see what the Bruce is showing.
