David Remfry (b. 1942), an English artist who has lived for many years in the renowned Chelsea Hotel in New York City, has long been fascinated by the relationships that develop between dogs and their owners. In this charming new book, which includes a number of residents of the Chelsea Hotel, his delicate portraits in watercolor and gouache reveal the mutual understanding and sympathy of these partnerships. Many of his portraits—of such famous dog owners as Ethan Hawke, Susan Sarandon, and Alan Cumming—are accompanied by sketches from the artist’s many notebooks alongside brief accounts by his sitters of how dog and owner came to find each other.
