Two dogs by Joost van den Toorn

Two images taken in the Groninger Museum earlier today, from the exhibition "Something to believe in" with works by Dutch sculptor Joost van den Toorn (1954). Both are bronze dogs, the first is called "Black Dog"..

..and this is the "Atomic Dog". I thought both looked very sweet.
Van den Toorn's works are often caricatural, he combines old symbols with modern imagery.
