Description

Coolidge went by the nickname "Cash" and has been described as a hustler whose resume showed quite a few career changes. Before he was painting for calendars, he worked painting street signs and houses and also tried his hand at being a druggist, an art teacher, and cartoonist. He also started his own bank and his own newspaper. So perhaps the pooches who are always looking for the angles represented Coolidge’s own ambitions.

I don't know a ton about fine art, but I do know this: the most important painting of all time is that one of dogs playing poker. American Cassius Marcellus Coolidge. But what those people don't seem to realize is that the mere idea of dogs playing poker is both relatable and uproariously funny. It's relatable because many human beings are known to enjoy playing poker. In fact there's a whole city in Nevada where people are willing to risk their hard-earned money over poker games. The painting is uproariously funny because dogs are not humans. You see, they have paws rather than hands, and therefore they are unable to actually even hold cards, let alone play poker. This is agenuine individual oil painting, not a print on canvas. There is enough blank place to stretch and frame the printed painting. Coolidge, who is credited with creating the life-size Boardwalk cutouts into which one's head is placed, allowing the person to be photographed as a character or animal. Bold Bluff" (originally Judge St. Bernard Stands Pat on Nothing)) tells the story of a St. Bernard bluffing his friends at the poker table on a pair of dueces. St. Bernard.

In England, Louis William Wain was busy portraying sporting cats who played cards, fished, putted on the golf course, played football and enjoyed a host of other pastimes. He continued to paint cats though, each cat becoming more abstracted than the last; until his cats became mere patterns of catlike colour. Englishman – taxidermist, Walter Potter – was busy stuffing real animals and creating anthropomorphic dioramas which included a group of squirrels playing cards. His slightly spooky scenes were very popular at the time, and the British public flocked to see ‘Mr Potter’s Museum of Curiosities’ – where guinea pigs played cricket and kittens hit tiny balls through wire croquet hoops. Coolidge’s work was fellow American, Arthur Sarnoff. Sarnoff was a successful commercial artist whose work, like Coolidge’s, was whimsical and engaging, relying heavily upon well-loved themes of Americana and comic-strip humour.
