Notes : “For Louw, dogs sometimes appear to have the same status as humans. Most typically, they are cowering, hesitant to enter the landscape, occupying a space entirely opposite to that slightly elevated perspective called the ‘prospect position’ which dominated Western painting after Claude and Poussin. Louw’s dogs grimace with fear, their bodies slightly contorted with the embarrassment of the here and now”.
