WILLIAM WEGMAN "UNTITLED" 1979
William Wegman (b. 1943) is an American photographer celebrated for his whimsical images of his beloved Weimaraner dogs.
This photograph is from Wegman's "Improved Photographs" series. Featuring a Weimaraner and a kitten in motion, this untitled work has a striking contrast from the artist's typically more staged scenes.
Together, the dog and cat convey a sense of mischievous urgency, presenting a much more raw dynamic than Wegman's traditionally portrait-like depictions of Weimaraners. Highly atypical, the artist has added a line or beam, either on the negative or once printed, emanating from each animal's eye.
Regardless, Wegman's humor shines through, depicting his cherished muse with sincere and candid admiration.
Wegman’s work is celebrated in prominent public collections including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Getty Museum (Los Angeles).
