Menschen wie wir

The book "People Like Us" by William Wegman is a comprehensive collection of over 300 photographs that document the artistic work of the renowned American artist over four decades. Wegman, known for his unique portraits of Weimaraners, discovered the acting talent of his first dog, Man Ray, in 1970, thereby developing a distinctive photographic theme. In collaboration with photo historian William A. Ewing, this work offers a deep insight into Wegman's creative world, characterized by quirky humor, artistic influences, and a special love for his four-legged models. The photographs range from character portraits to fashion shots and nudes, showcasing the versatility and charm of Weimaraners in various artistic contexts. This book is not only a tribute to dogs but also a fascinating testament to the evolution of Wegman's artistic style and vision.
