Man with dog

«The two masses of the standing up dog and the one of the man bending over it are a picture of superior rhythmic elegance and plasticity, also thanks to the arm and the vertical position that makes it an axis: it’s a continuous plastic thought, deeply linked to the sentiment and the reality of human reasons behind the invention, or rather, the dialogue between man and beast, between nature and thinking machine and here lays one of life’s expressions.» (Venturoli, 1972)
