Items related to Dog: A Dog's Life in Art and Literature
An endearing, affectionate portrayal of “man's best friend,” these pages offer dog lovers a captivating collection of canine-inspired artwork created through the centuries. Looking across art history at exceptional paintings, drawings, and sculptures from around the world, the book shows our four-legged friends and faithful companions at work, at play, and at rest. The great variety of breeds depicted ranges from the pedigreed prince to the homely mutt, yellow-fanged wolf to pampered lap-dog, mega-sized Saint Bernard to micro-Chihuahua, heroic hound to whimpering cur. Excerpts of relevant prose and poetry are included, chronicling the infinite facets of doghood. One example: “The more I see of men, the more I admire dogs,” declared Madame de Sévigné. Those who agree that the seventeenth-century writer and wit had a good point will surely enjoy this loving tribute to a dog’s life in art and literature.

About the Author:
Iain Zaczek, an art historian who has written on a wide variety of topics, is a graduate of Wadham College, Oxford, and the Courtauld Institute, London.
From School Library Journal:
YA-In more than 300 different works of art including paintings, drawings, and sculptures, this book shows every imaginable kind of dog playing, resting, and being companions to and working for humans. The excellent reproductions show art that ranges from ancient cultures to modern times throughout the world. The illustrations are captioned with relevant works from poetry and literature and thoughtful quotations. The text that introduces each chapter discusses the different canines: sporting dogs, working dogs, wild dogs, symbolic dogs, etc. Charming is the best word to describe this book.
