“DOYLESTOWN, PA.- Humorous and insightful photographs exploring the quirky relationships between dogs and their owners are on view in the Wachovia Gallery at the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown beginning April 26, 2008. Dog Dogs, a sampling from an extensive series by American photojournalist Elliott Erwitt (b. 1928), includes over 60 black-and-white photographs taken around the world between the years 1946 and 2000. Erwitt sees the dignity of the ankle-high Chihuahua; the anxiety of the homeless hound; the patience of the pom-pommed poodle; and the matchless joy of the homely but well-loved pug. Organized by Magnum Paris and art2art Circulating Exhibitions, these acute observations of the canine world prove that human relationships with furry friends are often due to mutual resemblance and emotion.”
