Fine art print, "Chacun son tour"
is a well-known etching from the series "The Dirty Dogs of Paris," created by the French artist and cartoonist Boris O'Klein (1893-1985). The phrase "Chacun son tour" translates to "Each in turn" or "Wait your turn". The artwork is a hand-colored etching that humorously depicts dogs waiting in line to urinate on a single tree.
The artist, Arthur Boris O'Klein, was born in Moscow but moved to France as a child. He served in World War I before settling in Paris, where he became known for his prints and watercolors featuring mischievous, anthropomorphized dogs. O'Klein's work was popular with tourists visiting Paris during the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. He also painted more traditional animal scenes under the pseudonym Jean Herblet.
The prints from "The Dirty Dogs of Paris" series are considered highly collectible and are still produced today from the original plates by O'Klein's grandson. The value of the prints can vary depending on factors such as whether they are originals or re-strikes, and their condition |
