QR Code Link to This Post
This is the artist's proof, run before the actual numbered series in the edition. It is signed by the artist, the inimitable Van Dyke Jones of Santa Fe, NM (and my former neighbor).
It depicts Polly, wife of Rex the Dog. Rex was a recurring character in Jones' work and the subject of a children's book authored by Jones.
Van Dyke Jones on Rex: “Rex, in my opinion, symbolically is the embodiment of everyman. An individual whose outlook on life is so reality based it’s a tad off-center. Encountering situations with a quiet, passive but apprehensive acceptance, Rex moves through life as an observer who constantly questions the world he lives in.”
Hand written on the lithograph it reads: "Polly: Rex's wife, friend, partner in life, and Boss."
