Meaning & Analysis

The print is part of the Man’s Best Friend collection, a body of 10 screen prints, each of which depict, in some form or another, Snoopy the dog. The collection pays homage to the popular cartoon character and reflects KAWS’ love for and fascination with cartoons. The artist has spoken about how he ‘found it weird how infused a cartoon could become in people's lives; the impact it could have, compared to regular politics’ and frequently incorporates cartoon figures into his works, as a means of further exploring the impact these animated figures have in modern society.

Snoopy the dog is not the first cartoon character that KAWS has appropriated in his art. The artist has also adapted well-known figures such as The Simpsons, SpongeBob Square Pants, the Smurfs and characters from Sesame Street, always in his distinct graphic style.

  • American-born artist, KAWS, is renowned for his cartoon figures, prints and 'subvertisements'. Born in 1974 to the burgeoning New York graffiti and street art scene, KAWS has successfully combined fine art and pop culture to create his own lane in the urban art world. His distinct aesthetic, characterised by playful figures and a subversive take on pop culture icons, has earned him acclaim in both the art and mainstream realms. Most notable is his Companion figure which has achieved global critical and commercial success, and has formed collaborations with the likes of Nike and Dior Homme.
