Boy Playing with Dogs

2012 Spring Collection: Boy Playing with Dogs, by Eleeshushe Parr, is a dynamic composition with three figures, rendered in soft tones. Eleeshushee is often overshadowed by her husband Parr, who was a prolific and well loved artist. Eleeshushee’s work stands on its own, displaying a fine aesthetic sensibility.

At first glance, this stencil print appears simple. Closer inspection rewards the viewer with a very rewarding visual experience, driven by the juxtaposition of the figures, the subtle differences in colors, and the whimsical facial expressions of the dogs.

Stencil; 1966, edition of 45.
