We’ve formally entered the recent, sticky a part of the yr when languid afternoon naps appear inevitable. A sprawling group exhibition at Timothy Taylor is an ode to this sluggish time and the furry companion with which it shares a reputation.
That includes 60-plus works made between 1915 and at the moment, Canine Days of Summer season is a joyful tribute to humanity’s greatest good friend. Interpretations of our favourite four-legged friends are huge and various, together with a vividly patterned sofa full with a tiny, lounging pup by Hilary Pecis and Alex Da Corte’s stylized wood puzzle with a pleasant providing in its paw. Spanning pictures, watercolor, etching, marquetry, and extra, the exhibition presents a wide-ranging view of our relationship with the animal.
“Dogs have been a feature of visual culture since at least 8,000 years ago when hunter-gatherers carved an image of leashed dogs into a sandstone cliff,” a press release from the gallery says. Symbols of safety, loyalty, and unparalleled love and devotion, canine companions proceed to fetch inspiration for artists millennia later.
Canine Days of Summer season runs by way of August 23 in New York.
