Cats and Dogs in Art & Design by Laurie Benson and Imogen Mallia-Valjan is a book co-published by the National Gallery of Victoria & Thames & Hudson Australia.
Cats & Dogs is an eclectic curation from the National Gallery of Victoria's collection, showcasing works of art that offer a unique perspective on cats and dogs and our relationship to them.
For millennia, artists and designers have been inspired by the enduring relationship between humans and their feline and canine friends. From Egyptian antiquities and Islamic and Hindu iconography, through to European paintings and contemporary First Nations art, cats and dogs are universal subjects.
Featuring allegorical emblems and modern masterpieces, this richly illustrated book showcases more than 100 works of art and design depicting loyal dogs and spirited cats selected from the National Gallery of Victoria's Collection.
Whether you're a cat lover or a dog person, these works reveal how deeply embedded our favourite animals are, not only in our lives but also within the history of art and design.
