Cornel Rubino, Stray Dogs, September 2004
installation view
Stray Dogs was Cornel Rubino's homage to the downtrodden and often neglected homeless population during the Bush years. He told the stories of the displaced men and women who serve as reminders of the failings as a society. The work was executed in charcoal "alla prima", without sketches, and continued Rubino's series of direct wall drawings.
