Dog in Mourning by Henry Bacon
Dog in Mourning by Henry Bacon, 1870
I had the privilege to attend Boston College, class of 1989. Patriots’ Day, the day of the Boston Marathon, is an event like no other. Picture July 4th, spring break, and the Super Bowl rolled into one. Yesterday broke my heart. Boston will recover, but that beautiful, heady, quintessentially New England civic celebration is now history. -

Dog by Andy Warhol, circa 1980s sold for $16,250You may remember the Cocker Spaniel. I believe it is Ginger, the dog of Warhol’s friend and Interview partner Peter Brant who encouraged Warhol to focus on pet portraits after he saw it. I wrote about Ginger here and included her in my “Dogs in Art” short film.

Ed Ruscha, Woody, and the World’s Hottest Pepper
Ed Ruscha, Woody, and the World’s Hottest Pepper by Lance AcordIn honor of LACMA’s Fall 2012 Art + Film gala, honoring Ed Ruscha and Stanley Kubrick, filmmaker Lance Acord made a short film about Ed Ruscha. His dog, Woody, features prominently, as does his interest in nature and gardening.
You may recall my fondness for Ed Ruscha based not just on his dog art, but his most excellent business card.
This film celebrates an artist and his muse. Without dogs, there would be no art.
The exhibition Ed Ruscha: Standard is on view at LACMA until January 21, 2013.
