1395-1455. Extraordinary Pisanello, among the most distinguished of the Italian renaissance painters. Employed by courtly families, The Vatican & royalty, he is of course known for his paintings & medals (an artform he invented). His sketches though are really quite otherworldly. I find them owning an aethyreal & translucent light. Agleam with emotional acuity, he accomplishes far more with far less. His sketches are luminous, kinetic & vivid with anatomic accuracy which is at once finite & alive. His dogs seem as if they might nuzzle the viewer's hand or leap after a rabbit at any moment! He clearly understood the human need for dogs & the cardinal balance their mere presence conveys within the context of our lives. The elusive grey area between two polarities-that of domestic restraint & that of the wild. They are creatures of duality, dogs.

AuthorHowl-O! I'm Julia Jensen- devoted student of dogs & religious sampler of cheesecake, wheat beer, huehuetenango coffee & almost any chocolate out there. I indulge these fancies & more, in the remote silence of the pacific NW. *PLEASE NOTE* The videos selected for bloghism could be construed as "disturbing" to those of certain bents, sensitivities, natures, mind-sets, etc.. I have a distinct interest in relaying footage of dogs doing what they have been doing for centuries....& in some cases, I also include dog show footage just as a matter of interest. If you do not like my selections, by all means, do not view them. Archives
