The Da Vinci Dog: The Passion, Paintings & Slobber of Brinks the Dog

By Paul Amelchenko

Book Overview

Brinks Amelchenko is a 4-year-old yellow Labrador retriever and an accomplished artist. He recently completed his first signature series, "Squirrels--Someday I'll Get You," a ground-breaking expression of canine instinct and unrelenting passion using the peculiar technique of slobber on the panes of glass in French doors. Amelchenko is also known for his mixed media pieces, including "Cell Phone Surprise" and "Memoirs of a Palm Frond." Today, in the luminous surroundings of his South Florida studio, he continues to push the limits of modern art with a unique style, a keen eye, and a sopping wet, slobbery nose. The Da Vinci Dog is a vivid showcase of Brink's stuffing works accompanied by his personal musings on his life as an artist. Audience The Da Vinci Dog will appeal to the millions of dog owners who like to laugh at the antics of their dogs, and any-one who loves satire directed at today's modern art community, who often place exorbitant value on art that in some cases, well, looks like a dog could have painted it!
