Little Dog, Paris, 1928

Spotted: From "On This Day" of own Facebook account
(Memory Served: 04 July 2015, Las Pinas City)

Inspired by a successful comments-section banter with one BFF, I decided one day to feature art trivia as profile and cover photos on my Facebook account, called it monthly art trivia duo. This folly ran for almost four years until 2016. One of my favorites was this Andre Kertesz photo of a boy holding a puppy, noted taken in Paris in 1928. I placed this as my profile pic, and the cover pic counterpart was a still life by Frida Kahlo.

Pioneer art photographer Kertesz was born on 02 July 1894, and the month of July in the Northern Hemisphere was known to be called the "dog days of summer." (Kahlo was born 06 July 1907.)

Got the title from a Tumblr blog, but someplace else, it was called "Boy Holding Puppy." The more authoritative bpkBILDAGENTUR noted the title of this popularly shared Kertesz piece was "Le petit chien ou Paris, Saint-Michel, le marché aux animaux." Almost a whole night of searching did not go wasted (as in previous attempts researching locations of artworks). A few hours before Manila began to stir awake, I finally learned that this is part of the collection of Centre George Pompidou in Paris.
