继泰特最近出版的《爱》之后，这本新的作品选集展示了泰特藏品中最可爱、最贴心、最有趣的狗狗画作。这本小书探讨了几千年来狗是如何成为动物伴侣之选，以及它们作为猎人、地位的象征和朋友的地位如何影响了艺术家。每一章的开头都用一段简短的介绍文字来介绍这些艺术作品——包括绘画、素描、雕塑、插图和装置艺术作品，增加了背景细节和关于这件作品、艺术家及其主题的额外信息。

Following Tate's recent publication Love, this new selection of works showcases the most endearing, thoughtful, and amusing depictions of dogs drawn from Tate's collection. Divided into key themes--

"Hounds of the Hunt," "Painterly Pooches," "Princely Pups," "Man's Best Friend," "Moping Mutts," "Working Like a Dog," "Lap Dogs at Leisure," "Mystical Mutts," and "Loyal Fido"--this little book considers how dogs have been the animal companion of choice for millennia and how their position as hunter, signifier of status, and friend has influenced artists. Works of art--

including paintings, drawings, sculptures, illustrations, and installations--are introduced by a brief introduction text at the beginning of the chapter, adding background detail or additional information about the art, artists, and their subjects. Featured artists include: Edwin Henry Landseer, Sidney Nolan, Chris Killip, Giacomo Amiconi, Hamo Thornycroft, William Hogarth, Joshua Reynolds, Cedric Morris, Peter Doig, and Edward Ruscha.
