Dogs and art in Australia

Australians love their dogs. With nearly 3.5 million dogs registered, we are said to have one of the highest rates of dog ownership in the world. Apart from writing the main text on the subject of Dogs in Australian Art, Steven Miller also maintains the popular Instagram account dogsinozart. His book is organised according to breeds, with a general introductory chapter surveying the history of dog painting in Australia.

Steven Miller was the head of the National Art Archive at the Art Gallery of New South Wales from 2009 to 2023. He has worked in commercial and public galleries since the late 1980s and published widely on art.
