Dogs have been ubiquitous in the visual arts since people began scrawling on cave walls, and they’ve remained a common element throughout the Western artistic tradition.
Laqueur says that painters are interested in dogs seeing us because, well, we’re interested in dogs seeing us.
There’s something about their gaze that draws us to them, and that in turn draws us to drawing them with us.
Laqueur's book is called "The Dog's Gaze", and he joins us to discuss the remarkable bond between dogs and people and what we learn by trying to see ourselves through their eyes.
