Mark your calendars, bring your dogs. Soon after we discovered our ability to create images that last, we made pictures of dogs. From prehistoric paintings created over 8000 years ago in the Middle East and India to portraits of pets commissioned by European nobility in the 1600s, dogs have been our constant companions not just in life, but also in art. Hashimoto Contemporary continues this age-old tradition with For the Love of Dog, a group exhibition featuring over thirty artists who each offer their own unique interpretation of our canine companions. Ranging from heartfelt to heartbreak, this exhibition highlights how we continue to cherish, uphold, fear, and idolize our species’ best friends.
