This piece is an original relief print by Marc Snyder, number 1 in an edition of 20. It is printed on BFK Rives, a beautiful archival printmaking paper. The relief process is linocut, in which a relatively soft piece of linoleum is cut and inked, with the black areas of the print being the uncut portions of the linoleum. It is signed in pencil with "Mad Dog 1/20 Marc Snyder 2004". The image area is 7.5" x 11.25" and the paper size is 11" x 14".
I've replaced the politician you would expect to find surrounded by the secret service with a menacing dog. The security that surrounds the world's leaders are classic spear-carriers in our contemporary drama - anonymous, but ready to give their lives for the people they protect. How often do you think that the guards are more noble than the guarded?
Marc Snyder is an artist living in Connecticut. He has a Master of Fine Arts degree in printmaking from Indiana University and a Bachelors degree in studio art from the University of Virginia.
