4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Book!, February 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: David Hockney's Dog Days (Hardcover)

For readers with one or more Dachshunds around the house, you'll love the beautiful artwork of David Hockney and I'll bet these poses will look all too familiar. They certainly did to me! The variety of medium and presentation make this an interesting work for the artistically inclined as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars For the dachsdhund lover!, October 10, 2003

This review is from: David Hockney's Dog Days (Hardcover)

How lovely! An art book about dachshunds! Of course, they are mainly sleeping, dachshunds are too energetic to be captured with a camera, let alone a paintbrush. But the sketches add to the paintings and one can easily recognize the true nature of these dogs: philosophic, intelligent and full of natural authority. Although my favourite picture was a photograph of Hockney and his dogs and the pillow (in most paintings) with Hockney's paintings all around them. The book tells more about us dachshund lovers than the dogs, we are a strange bunch with an odd sense of humour and a deep passion for these dogs. Well, only a person with an odd sense of humour and a lot of patience would love - and manage to live with - a dachshund...

A perfect gift for dachshund lovers, people interested in dogs or art - or children, who think art is dull and never funny. The paintings are full of love. Thank you, David Hockney : )

5.0 out of 5 stars Super doxie poses!, January 2, 2002

This review is from: David Hockney's Dog Days (Hardcover)

I thought it was awesome! A lot of the drawings looked just like my tree red smooths. I was really impressed with how he sees his dachshunds and all of our dachshunds in art. If your not a person who lives and breathes doxies, you may not like it.
