Vintage NYC BRUSSELS GRIFFON

Hello - Thanks for running such a great blog! I love all the pictures. My partner and I have been considering adding a Brussels Griffon to our family for the past 8 months or so. I do not want to buy from a pet store and am not keen on waiting to find one in a shelter. Do you reccommend a good breeder or other source to find a new little family member? Thanks!

Mr Angus loves a Fist full of Dollars (by Deanna Rastvorov)

Today was a good day, they showed Mr Angus’s favorite movie on TCM. Mr Angus loves horses, and specially loves spaghetti westerns. Paco has to hang back and not to get in Angus’s way while he is watching the movie, you can hear him barking in the background.

A Fistful of Dollars

(Per un pugno di dollari)

A Fistful of Dollars (Italian: Per un pugno di dollari) is a 1964 spaghetti western film directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood, alongside Gian Maria Volonté, Marianne Koch, Wolfgang Lukschy, Sieghardt Rupp, José Calvo, Antonio Prieto, and Joseph Egger.[5]

Released in Italy in 1964 and then in the United States in 1967, it initiated the popularity of the Spaghetti Western film genre. It was followed by For a Few Dollars More (1965) and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), also starring Eastwood. Collectively, the films are commonly known as the “Dollars Trilogy,” or “The Man With No Name Trilogy.” The film is an unofficial remake of the Akira Kurosawa film Yojimbo (1961), resulting in a successful lawsuit by Toho.[6][7] In the United States, the United Artists publicity campaign referred to Eastwood’s character in all three films as the “Man with No Name.”

As one of the first Spaghetti Westerns to be released in the United States, many of the European cast and crew took on American-sounding stage names. These included Leone himself (“Bob Robertson”), Gian Maria Volonté (“Johnny Wels”), and composer Ennio Morricone (“Dan Savio”). A Fistful of Dollars was shot in Spain, mostly near Hoyo de Manzanares[8] close to Madrid, but also (like its two sequels) in the Cabo de Gata-Níjar Natural Park in Almería province.

shoedee — Sat, 16 Mar 2013 11:00:00 -0400

Mary Cassatt was a fellow Griffoniac.

American Impressionist painter Mary Cassatt owned, bred and painted many a Griffon in her day.

Mary Cassatt was born in Allegheny, PA on May 22, 1844.

She was from a well placed family, and much to their dismay, she chose to become a professional artist, and at the youthful age of 15.

Mary Cassatt attended the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. She moved to Paris in the year 1866. She became friends with the French artist Edgar Degas, who encouraged her to join the Impressionist movement.

Mary Cassatt was very fond of little dogs, especially Brussels Griffons.

She’s celebrated for her intimate domestic scenes, but she also had a sharp eye for public performance.

In the artless sprawl of the child in Little Girl in a Blue Armchair you can find foreshadowed the pose of a provocative adult.

Inspired by Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and other members of their circle, Cassatt embraced the Impressionists’ commitment to forthright storytelling about inconsequential subjects.

In a room crammed with haphazardly arranged furniture, the daughter of friends of Degas sprawls on an overstuffed chair while Cassatt’s Brussels griffon rests on another.

Although Cassatt’s candid picture of a bored or exhausted child repudiates traditional portraits of charming little girls in proper poses holding faithful dogs, she was enraged when the American jury rejected it for display at the 1878 Exposition Universelle. Instead, she showed it with the Impressionists in 1879, the first of her four exhibitions with the group.

It was throgh Dega’s friend, a breeder of Brussels Griffons in Paris that she got her first Griff, she later bred them and had several at a time. Griffons were a common subject in her work, black and tan rough coats were here favorites.

We are so happy and proud to add this maverick Amercian woman artist to the Cult of Griffon roster!

Cheers to Mary Cassatt and to her fabulous Griffon paintings!
