Recommended by Rebecca (Gallery Manager):
"This wood engraving by Leonard Baskin shows his sense of humor, perhaps his lesser known side. It exemplifies the idea that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The dog is not objectively beautiful, but the artist/owner declares that it is. You see the expressive quality in Baskin's wood engravings, from the fur textures in the bulky body to the shape of the dainty paws. Baskin is so assertive in declaring he and his dog are a package deal; to love one is to love the other."
