Dogs have frequently been the subject of paintings but rarely
have they created them. Brooklyn-born Tillie is the
exception. This
acclaimed pooch had her first solo exhibition at a mere nine
months
old. Utilizing a unique color transfer technique, Tillie holds a
prepared “canvas” in her mouth and trots it off to her
workspace, where
she dramatically applies pressure with teeth and claws in a
feverish
ritual of creation. The results garner high prices,
slack-jawed praise,
and comparisons with Jackson Pollack. Portrait of the Dog
as a Young Artist
profiles this pioneering talent with photographs and
descriptive text
by her “assistant,” F. Bowman Hastie III. Hastie recounts
Tillie’s
early life in Brooklyn and details her evolution from
promising amateur
to canine Caravaggio. The photographs portray Tillie at
work, at her
many gallery shows, and taking a much-needed break to play
with her six
new puppies.
