Friend in Need Prints by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge at AllPosters.com

Cassius Coolidge’s canines slip each other cards instead of treats under the table. Famous for his poker-playing hounds, Coolidge also drew newspaper cartoons and created whimsical cardboard cutouts. That same sense of humor carries over to his dirty-dealing dogs, bringing fun pool-hall style to any space.

Although he’s most famous for his anthropomorphized dog paintings, Cassius Coolidge also founded a bank, drug stores, a newspaper, and invented the life-sized carnival figure cutouts with holes to insert faces thereby transforming people into muscle men, pin-up beauties and other characters. His series of 16 dog paintings were originally created for the advertising firm Brown & Bigelow as part of an emerging concept at the time – branding or “remembrance advertising.”

This art print displays sharp, vivid images with a high degree of color accuracy. A member of the versatile family of art prints, this high-quality reproduction represents the best of both worlds: quality and affordability. Art prints are created on paper similar to that of a postcard or greeting card using a digital or offset lithography press.
