Three-of-a-kind is a winning hand when it’s Cassius Coolidge’s “Poker Dogs.” Famous for his knack for humanizing animals, Coolidge created nine paintings of poker-playing canines. These playful dogs add classic pool hall style to a den, game room or pub. Make it a trio by grouping with “A Bold Bluff” and “Poker Sympathy.”
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.”
