“I take a lot of pictures of dogs because I like dogs, because they don’t object to being photographed, and because they don’t ask for prints.” – Elliott Erwitt
This famous quote by Elliott Erwitt encapsulates the essence of the exhibition that Sirmione dedicates to one of the great masters of 20th century photography and highlights his extraordinary ability to look at the world and life with great irony and at the same time with unsurpassed depth. After Martin Parr’s iconic beaches in 2024, the city continues its important collaboration with the Magnum Photos agency, presenting the famous exhibition DOGDOGS by Elliott Erwitt
DOGDOGS shows Elliott Erwitt through one of his most beloved and celebrated subjects, which he describes as follows: “Dogs are honest. They don’t pretend to be something they’re not. They are what you see, and that’s what I try to capture.”
