A COMPLETELY ORIGINAL HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
There are few bonds as close as the one between man - or woman - and dog. What creatures are as cherished as our canine companions? More than just man's best friend, the dog has become an honorary, and honored, member of our society. To celebrate this unique relationship, A THOUSAND HOUNDS brings together over 400 photographs of dogs, many of which have rarely been seen. Spanning more than 150 years (1839 to present), this book chronicles the evolving relationship between man and dog. Included are no-nonsense 19th century working dogs, adventuring dogs, dogs of war, police dogs, fictional "superdogs" like Rin-Tin-Tin and Lassie, beloved family dogs, and, to some, the pinnacle of canine achievement: the ultra-bred and groomed show dog.Intellectually and visually stimulating, A THOUSAND HOUNDS is far more than just a collection of dog pictures. This unique book features the work of hundreds of world-famous photographers and artists (from Picasso to Man Ray, Ralph Gibson to Eric Fischl, Wolfgang Tillmans to David Salle, and of course, Elliott Erwitt and William Wegman), dozens of witty and moving quotes about dogs, and captivating essays on the presence of dogs in the history of photography and their relation to man.
