Mr.
Cassius Marcellus Coolidge (1844-1934) was the artist who created the
whimsical “Poker Dogs” a series of oil paintings made in the 1920s. The
paintings depict a group of dogs not only playing poker, but also engaged in
other usually human activities. The Poker Dogs achieved national recognition
from the 30s through the 60s by appearing on calendars and various other
advertising media.
