Catalogue Essay
Bonnard's picture of stray dogs disporting themselves is one of his most skillful creations of high caricature, and it brings to mind not only the dazzling energy of Daumier but also Manet's best work in black and white..." Colta Ives, et al., Pierre Bonnard, The Graphic Art, 1989, p. 121.
