Dogs in art


If you were old enough you would remember when those old paintings of dogs playing poker were very popular then you would have seen one example of how dogs appear in human art. Putting human attributes such as smoking pipes and gambling has always been quark of artists. Some websites have even used those paintings online to advertise cigars online, which would make sense, since those paintings do look like old time advertising posters.

Later, when photoshop was introduced to the public, those dogs with the really big eyes started to become popular. They appeared on birthday and greeting cards. posters and t-shirts. They soon disappeared from vogue. I wonder what the next big thing in dog art will be?
