In each painting, Michael Dumontier and Neil Farber have depicted an animal holding a Sharpie, ostensibly writing a message. These messages are varied in nature: political and religious tracts, confessions, recipes, arithmetic problems, and more. Above all, these paintings are funny, but they are also startlingly poignant and jarring for the humanness of the suffering and longing depicted in these animals' simple words.\u003cbr\u003e Dumontier and Farber, two of the founding members of the highly influential art collective the Royal Art Lodge, have been collaborating on art projects for more than fifteen years. Their collaborative style is unique from that found in their individual works and is respected internationally: they've exhibited together in France, Switzerland, Canada, the United States, Belgium, Spain, England, and Germany. \u003cbr\u003e Dumontier and Farber have a strong sense of the absurd, but they are also deeply insightful about the world in which their art is created. \u003ci\u003eAnimals with Sharpies\u003c\/i\u003e is a mixture of new, previously unseen pieces and older pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Dumontier, Neil Farber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 177046106X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770461062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Drawn \u0026amp; Quarterly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.24h x 9.27w x 0.47d","brand":"Michael Dumontier","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43984254206207,"sku":"9781770461062","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d6b07acb-909a-49e2-b6fd-082f38807a7d.jpg?v=1683271330","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/animals-with-sharpies-michael-dumontier-9781770461062","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
