Original Comic Humor Etching O'Klein from The dirty dogs, Paris - Version 4 Name of the print: Tu Viens, beau blond? / Are you coming, beautiful blonde? Boris O'Klein, born Arthur Boris O'Klein, a French artist and cartoonist. An anthropomorphic artist, he is known for his numerous prints and watercolors of dogs getting up to mischief. The prints are generally called "The Naughty Dogs" or "The Dirty Dogs" or "The Dirty Dogs of Paris." While O'Klein was a prolific artist and produced many watercolors, the greatest part of his output consists of prints, either color lithographs or engravings heightened with hand-painted touches of watercolor. Many of these prints appear to be have been produced in O'Klein's later years and after his death, and are still likely produced to this day. The two main themes of O'Klein's art are (1) public urination; and (2) male-female flirtation or desire. The numerous scenes by O'Klein of dogs lined up against walls or beside trees to urinate are part of what gives the prints their incendiary appeal for some viewers. In other prints, a number of male dogs will follow a female dog with an air of evident interest. Paper sizes are approximately 10 x 22 inches. Actual image size is approximately 7 x 19 inches.
