Take in this playful exhibition of prints on our beloved dogs and cats by German-born artist Dieter Roth (1930-1998) and Dutch artist Karel Appel (1921-2006). Roth’s frenetic and mostly monochromatic canines from his 2 Times 5 Dogs portfolio contrast with Appel’s colorful and expressionistic feline renderings from his Cats portfolio. Art lovers from all over can see this exhibit online at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University.
