Dog Only Knows: The Dog Portraits of Alison Friend

內容簡介

內容簡介 這是一本每位愛狗人士都不可錯過的禮物書，出自備受讚譽的藝術家 Alison Friend 之手，收錄 超過 125 幅令人無法抗拒的狗狗肖像——每一隻都調皮、好笑、性格鮮明，彷彿真的有自己的小宇宙。認識一下牠們吧：用魔術方塊保持頭腦靈活的 Midge；穿上新胸背帶、看起來身價百萬的 Alan；人生座右銘是「人要見、屁股要聞」的 Lola；Chupa Chops——牠到底是怎麼拆開那支棒棒糖的？還有一本正經的 Clive，無論是吃餅乾、追松鼠還是撿球，都全神貫注、心無旁騖；熱愛雞尾酒之夜、活力四射的 Debbie；以及小小的 Louis——一位愛抽菸（想像中的）、沉思存在意義的「存在主義狗」，總是邊喝濃縮咖啡邊反芻「犬生狀態」。歡迎來到 Alison Friend 筆下的狗狗世界——一個獨特而迷人的所在。她以油畫、同理心、老大師技法，以及無與倫比的想像力，捕捉那種難以言喻的特質——我們稱之為「性格」。準確地說，是狗狗的性格。這些肖像中的狗狗，擁有大而有神的眼睛、宛如《蒙娜麗莎》般的微笑、可愛的習慣與孩子氣的快樂。牠們看起來既「太像人類了」，卻又徹頭徹尾地「狗得不可思議」。正如小 Louis 可能會告訴你的那樣——這正是所謂的「犬生狀態」，只是你從未以這樣的方式見過。A must-have gift book for every dog lover from acclaimed artist Alison Friend, featuring over 125 irresistible portraits--each uniquely mischievous, funny, and full of personality. Meet Midge, who keeps her mind sharp with a Rubik's Cube. Alan, who looks like a million dollars in his new harness. Lola, whose motto is "People to see, bums to sniff." Chupa Chops--how did he unwrap that lollipop? The oh-so-earnest Clive, who does everything--biscuit eating, squirrel chasing, ball fetching--with a single-minded focus. Irrepressible Debbie, who loves cocktail night, and Little Louis, a chain-smoking existentialist who can't stop chewing over the canine condition. Usually with an espresso. Welcome to Alison Friend's world of dogs, a singular and very special place created by an artist with a unique gift for depicting that ineffable thing we call "character"--dog characters, actually--using oil paint, empathy, techniques of the Old Masters, and an imagination like no other. With their big expressive eyes and Mona Lisa smiles, charming habits and childlike pleasures, the subjects of these portraits seem all too human yet fantastically doglike. Capturing exactly--as Little Louis would tell you--the canine condition, though you've never seen it like this before.
