Artist’s Biography
Although Wegman received BFA & MFA degrees in painting, he has become known as a conceptual artist & “dog photographer” who collaborates with Weimaraners.
Man Ray was his first canine subject. From 1970-1981, Wegman & his dog shared “a long and fruitful collaboration” (Wegman, 2013)
Five years after Man Ray’s death, Wegman got Faye Ray; several of her progeny became Wegman collaborators as well.
Wegman & Faye Ray

Wegman transforms IDENTITY through ANTHROPOMORPHISM
Anthropomorphism - “attribution of human characteristics to other animals, non-living things, phenomena, material states, objects or abstract concepts” (Wikipedia, 2013).
a.k.a. PERSONIFICATIONPersonification is used often
in art & storytelling. In fables of many cultures, it
is used as a non-threatening teaching strategy.

Wegman’s Weimaraner Photographs are
about IDENTITY
Through ANTHROPOMORPHISM, he imposes contrived IDENTITIES upon the Weimaraners using costumes, props, poses & settings.
In the process, they have become not merely models or subject matter, but collaborators in his art.
Through transforming the dogs’ IDENTITIES as art, they have transformed Wegman’s.

Wegman’s Weimaraner Photographs are
also about RELATIONSHIPS
Anthropomorphic RELATIONSHIPS between the Weimaraners and the humans they represent.
Empathetic RELATIONSHIPS between viewers & Wegman’s canine characters.
Wegman’s own loving
RELATIONSHIPS with
the dogs he calls his
“collaborators.”
