US painter Cassius Marcellus Coolidge\u2019siconic\nDogs Playing Poker<\/em> is one of the most recognizable paintings in the\ngambling world and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, what\u2019s not that widely known is that Dogs\nPlaying Poker<\/em> is actually a whole series of 18 paintings that were created\nover almost 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article will talk about the collection, its\nstory and who the artist was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Origin and Story of \u201cDogs\nPlaying Poker\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dogs Playing Poker<\/em>\nby Cassius Marcellus Coolidge feature comical, human-like dogs in various settings,\nalthough only 11 of the paintings show them playing poker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16 of the paintings were commissioned by Brown\n& Bigelow to advertise cigars and they were not considered \u201cart\u201d at the\ntime<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first painting in the collection, Poker\nGame,<\/em> dates back as far as 1984 and is his most famous painting. It\u2019s\nsynonymous with the term Dogs Playing Poker<\/em>, along with another painting\nin the Brown & Bigelow series, called A Friend in Need<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, let\u2019s go through the artwork in a bit more in-depth to cover each of the 16 paintings in the Brown & Bigelow series:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dogs In Popular Culture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the last century, Dogs Playing Poker<\/em>\nhas become more popular than anyone could have predicted, even Coolidge\nhimself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This painting has become a big part of pop culture\nin the US and can be found in countless shows and movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From kids\u2019 shows like Courage the Cowardly\nDog<\/em> to adult animated shows like The Simpsons<\/em> and Family Guy<\/em>\nand sitcoms like Cheers<\/em> and Roseanne<\/em>, this painting has been well\nrepresented over the years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It even found its way into one of Snoop Dogg\u2019s\nsongs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These paintings have also become common motifs\nfor various home decor pieces, shirts, and other merchandise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, Who Was Cassius Marcellus\nCoolidge?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cassius Marcellus Coolidge was born in the\nsmall town of Antwerp, New York, in 1844. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He spent his first two decades growing up on a\nfamily farm before leaving to start his career, originally starting out as a\nsign painter and hopped between various careers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the early 1870s, he founded a bank and a\nnewspaper but didn\u2019t see much success in either venture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few years later, Coolidge moved from Antwerp\nto Rochester, where he started painting. Interestingly, he never received any\nextensive formal training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He found the most success by painting dogs in\nvarious human situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up until he died in 1934, Coolidge was a very\nactive painter, drawing caricatures and other paintings. When signing, he often\nused the nickname \u201cCash\u201d or \u201cKash\u201d given by his family members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historians also credit Coolidge for developing the so-called \u201ccomic foregrounds\u201d<\/a> or \u201ccarnival cutouts\u201d \u2013 those cardboard cutouts you stick your head through for a funny photo. It was his main source of income too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Much Is Dogs Playing Poker<\/em>\nWorth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Prior to the last two decades, Coolidge\npaintings never sold for any astronomical amounts. As his work is mostly\nconsidered kitsch, it never reached great popularity among art collectors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, Coolidge\u2019s work was most often\nmet with ridicule and condescension by people in the art world. He was never as\nwidely recognized as other famous painters of his era or before, mainly because\nhis work was too trivial and funny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, an art historian named\nWilliam Hennessey publicly mocked Coolidge\u2019s work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 1, 2002, he announced that his museum\nwas trying to acquire Coolidge\u2019s work to add to its collection. A tasteless\njoke, but Hennessey later said that he also appreciates and has always liked\nCoolidge\u2019s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing this, his most famous painting, Poker\nGame<\/em>, is also his most expensive one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was sold in 2015 for $658,000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This painting is followed A Bold Bluff<\/em> and Waterloo<\/em>, which sold as a pair for just over $590,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly enough, A Friend in Need<\/em> is\nvalued as Coolidge\u2019s most expensive painting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, even though this painting is thought\nto be worth at least several million dollars, it has never been up for sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Can You Buy Prints Of Dogs\nPlaying Poker<\/em>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the original painting is certainly out\nof most people\u2019s budget, copies of Dogs Playing Poker<\/em> are widely\navailable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can easily find top-quality printed copies\non sites like Amazon and Etsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to go a step further and purchase\na real hand-painted replica of any painting in this series, you can also find\nthem at a number of online gallery stores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, these also cost substantially more\nthan the printed copies. But, if you\u2019re going for a museum-quality piece you\ncan proudly hang in your room, they are well worth the money.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
