Dog portraits

Pair of modernist gouaches

Two gouaches on paper depicting stylized portraits of dogs, one signed "MIRKA".
The first composition depicts a Boston Terrier treated in sleek black and white graphics on a beige background animated by a pink disk. The second features a greyhound with an elegant profile on a mauve and blue background.

These works seduce with their modernist aesthetic inspired by Art Deco graphics and mid-twentieth-century advertising illustrations. The silhouettes are reduced to broad flat tints of color with clean contours, creating highly effective, immediately legible decorative compositions. The whole evokes the world of poster artists and illustrators of the 1930s-1950s, with a sensibility close to the decorative arts and animal graphic design.

Very decorative pair, ideal for a contemporary interior or a lover of animal art and purebred dogs.

presented in elegant antique gilded frames creating an interesting contrast with the modernist aesthetic of the compositions.
