Summary
My guest this week is author and historian Thomas Laqueur to discuss his new book, The Dog's Gaze: A Visual History. Laqueur explores the deep biological, evolutionary, and cultural connection between humans and dogs as told through centuries of masterpiece paintings. From the ancient petroglyphs of the Arabian desert to Velázquez's intricate court scenes, the gaze of a dog functions as an inviting device to connect the audience to the artwork. Pick up a copy of The Dog's Gaze: A Visual History on Amazon or wherever you get your books.
