Dog Art Today

In The Company of Dogs and Cats at Blanton Museum of Art

 

 

L’Artisan Moderne Poster by Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, 1896

Now on view at the Blanton Museum of Art at The University of Texas at Austin, In the Company of Dogs and Cats, featuring over 150 works by masters such as Albrecht Dürer, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, William Blake, Francisco Goya, Paul Gauguin, Takahashi Hiroaki (Shotei), Pablo Picasso, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Edward Hopper, Louise Bourgeois, and others.

The museum is keeping most of the included works out of the press, but shared L'Artisan Moderne Poster by Henri Toulouse-Lautrec. I've never seen it before. Wonder what other dog-art treasures they have? If you go, let me know.
Exhibition runs until September 21, 2014.

Yale Photo Instagram at Sushi Bar Gallery

 

 

Work by Curran Hatleberg

Now on view at Sushi Bar Gallery in Brooklyn, Yale Photo Instagram, 36 photographs of 19 alumni of the Yale Photography MFA program.

As Instagram continues to enter the art world and the artist's hand, the emphasis between this specific group of photographers and this social media filter become unlikely cohorts, creating a series of pairings that straddle the fences between accessibility and prestige, personal and professional, public and intimate, analog and digital. And so, we are excited to join the sweeping trend of "Instagram shows," this time, giving stage to this specific demographic of picture makers.
