Henri Emil Adrien Trodoux |
(Russian-French, late 19th C. ) |
From his youth Trood lived and studied dogs. "I have painted them since
I was four years old, but not until I was twenty could I paint one properly."
At one time he kept a menagerie in the back garden of his Chelsea studio until
the neighbors complained of noise. Afterwards he kept a fox, a badger and an
otter running loose in his room with his dogs. He once tried hypnotism on a
dog to try and keep it to stay still but its eyes looked unnatural. |
