Zu Ehren des beliebtesten Tieres der Welt und „des alleinigen wahren Gefährten und treuesten Freundes des Menschen“ (Arthur Schopenhauer) zeigen wir in diesem Album über 400 Hundefotografien aus der Zeit vom 19. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart. Darunter Werke von Man Ray, Eric Fischl, Wolfgang Tillmans, Ralph Gibson, Fatima NeJame, Vincent Versace und natürlich von den Doyens der Hundefotografie, vom einzigartigen Elliott Erwitt und von William Wegman , dessen Weimaraner-Hund „Man Ray“ 1982 von der Village Voice zum „Mann des Jahres“ gekürt wurde. Vergessen Sie #dogsofinstagram – dies hier ist die wahre Hundekunst, und auch eingefleischten Verächtern des Canis lupus familiaris sollte diese geballte Ladung Charme auf vier Pfoten das in diesem Kontext unvermeidbare „wau!“ entlocken. Intellektuell unterfüttert wird diese Hommage durch dackelschlaue Essays zum Themenkomplex Hund-Mensch-Fotografie.
