Coolidge Birth name Cassius Marcellus Coolidge Born November 12, 1844 Antwerp, New York , United States Died January 24, 1934 (aged 89) Nationality American Field Illustration, painting Works Dogs Playing Poker Cassius Marcellus Coolidge (November 12, 1844 – January 24, 1934), was an American visual artist, best known for his paintings in the " dogs playing poker " genre. He was also known as Cash Coolidge (sometimes spelled Kash ).Born in Antwerp, New York to abolitionist Quaker farmers, Coolidge was known by the nickname "Rash" to friends and family. While he had no formal training as an artist, his natural aptitude for drawing led him to create cartoons for his local newspaper when in his twenties. He is credited with creating Comic Foregrounds , life-size cutouts into which one's head was placed so as to be photographed as an amusing character, common at midways and carnivals .[ 1] Contents [ hide ] 1 Anthropomorphic dog paintings 2 Notes 3 References 4 External links [ edit ] Anthropomorphic dog paintings His Station and Four Aces by C. M. Coolidge, 1903. In 1903, Coolidge contracted with the advertising firm of Brown & Bigelow of St. Paul, Minnesota , to create sixteen oil paintings over several years, featuring anthropomorphized dogs engaging in various human activities. Nine of them depict dogs playing poker ,[ 2] a meme Coolidge is credited with inventing, and which inspired 1950s American illustrator Arthur Sarnoff who is also famous for paintings of dogs playing pool , poker and craps , along with various other later imitators. On February 15, 2005, two of these much-imitated paintings, A Bold Bluff and Waterloo , went on the auction block expecting to fetch between $30,000 and $50,000 but surprisingly sold for $590,400 at Doyle New York . The auction set an auction record for Coolidge, whose previous top (posthumous) sale was $74,000. [3 ] The original series of 16 paintings, and their themes, are: A Bachelor's Dog – reading the mail A Bold Bluff – poker Breach of Promise Suit – testifying in court A Friend in Need – poker, cheating His Station and Four Aces – poker New Year's Eve in Dogville – ballroom dancing One to Tie Two to Win – baseball Pinched with Four Aces – poker, illegal gambling Poker Sympathy – poker Post Mortem – poker, camaraderie The Reunion – smoking and drinking, camaraderie Riding the Goat – Masonic initiation Sitting up with a Sick Friend – poker, gender relations Stranger in Camp – poker, camping Ten Miles to a Garage – travel, car trouble, teamwork Waterloo – poker Additional paintings in a similar vein include: Kelly Pool (ca. 1903) – pool Looks Like Four of a Kind (1910) – poker Kelly Pool in particular (named for a specific pool game common in Coolidge's time) led to another memetic pop-culture art genre, that of " dogs playing pool ".
