Description

American artist William Wegman has been using his Weimaraners as subjects for his photographs, videotapes, paintings, and drawings since the early 1970. For this playful alphabet, Wegman photographed his dog Fay and three of her offspring—Battina, Chundo, and Crooky—assuming the shape of letterforms.
