This diptych features two minimalist silhouettes of black dogs against serene turquoise skies and rolling green landscapes. The upper panel depicts a dog in a grazing posture, while the lower shows a dog in an alert, standing position with raised ears. Inspired by the artist's encounter with a black dog on the cliffs of Deauville, France, these paintings exemplify Weiss's focus on canine body language and the enigmatic mood created through simplified forms and positioning within the landscape.
