About the Item

Elliott Erwitt Dogs photograph Amsterdam, 1973: “Dogs have more to do than children. For one thing, they are forced to lead a life that is really schizoid. Every minute, they have to live on two planes at once, juggling the dog world against the human world. And they’re always on call. Their owners want instant affection every day, any time of day. A dog can never say that he has other things to do.” —Elliott Erwitt, Dog Dogs Archival inkjet print . Dimensions: 8 x 10 including boarders. Limited Edition of 70 + 5 Artist’s Proofs ). Stamped by the artist on the reverse. Excellent overall condition. Published by Aperture NY. Printed by Laumont Editions NY. Literature: Elliott Erwitt: Home Around the World, copublished by Aperture & the Harry Ransom Center 2016. Elliott Erwitt is an American documentary photographer considered one of the masters of his medium. Known for his candid and often humorous black-and-white images, Erwitt is responsible for some of the most iconic photographs of the 20th century, including indelible portraits of figures like Marilyn Monroe, Che Guevara, and Richard Nixon. Over the course of his career, the artist has published numerous photobooks, often with a particular focus on dogs. “The work I care about is terribly simple,” Erwitt remarked in 1988. “I observe, I try to entertain, but above all I want pictures that are emotion. Little else interests me in photography.” Born on July 26, 1928 in Paris, France, his family emigrated to the United States in 1939. He went on to study photography at Los Angeles Community College and filmmaking at the New School for Social Research, and later worked as a photojournalist. After serving in the in the early 1950s, he was invited to join Magnum Photos by Robert Capa who, along with Edward Steichen and Roy Stryker, admired Erwitt’s style of off-the-cuff shooting. In 2011, the artist was awarded the Infinity Award for Lifetime Achievement by the International Center of Photography. Currently based in New York, NY, Erwitt travels extensively for his commercial and fine art commissions. The artist’s works are held in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Cleveland Museum of Art, among others.
