	Addison - William Wegman: Funney/Strange
		Underlying all of William Wegman's work is the light humor of "funny" mediating the darker human comedy of "strange." His career, as the exhibition and the catalogue attest, has never been static or predictable, yet it is woven of enduring threads of interests and explorations that engaged him at the beginning and compel him still.
		Coming of age in the 1960s Wegman was an early exponent of conceptual art and a pioneering maker of video.
		Born in Holyoke, Massachusetts in 1943, Wegman received a BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston and an MFA from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

	William Wegman: Early Works
		Wegman's principal video works are short pieces collected in seven reels done over a period of seven years beginning in 1970.
		Wegman's videos, too, raise questions which are explored through the manipulation of logical and narrative visual and verbal constructs, sometimes using dogs masquerading as their human counterparts.
		Painting is a late undertaking in Wegman's artistic career, although he majored in painting at the University of Illinois and graduated with an MFA in 1967.

	William Wegman - Art Review - Brooklyn Museum - New York Times
		Wegman is one of the most important artists to emerge from the heady experiments of the 1970's.
		Wegman has remained as true as any of his legendary 1970's contemporaries to the belief that the artist's job is to make something that doesn't look like art.
		Wegman secured his place in art history when he became the first person to prove that video art could be laugh-out-loud funny.

	William Wegman - Salon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Wegman was born in Holyoke, Mass., in 1943, and he grew up in nearby Eastern Long Meadow, a small town marked by the ponds, fields and dirt roads of unimproved baby-boom suburbia.
		A photograph that Wegman took in 1984 shows the brothers, safely landed in their sunset years, silver-haired, in a variety of horrendous plaid slacks, Bermuda shorts, golf shirts, white socks.
		Wegman clearly doesn't mind the prominence given to this moment of indecision.

		Although Wegman's artistic output includes photography and video work that doesn't feature canines, "by the mid-Seventies," he wryly notes, "I had become the guy with the dog." The dog was Man Ray, a weimaraner with a movie star's instinct for the spotlight.
		It is when Wegman, refraining from indulging his latter-day fascination with prop and costume anthropomorphism, focuses on the dogs themselves-whether on their musculature, their sleek taupe coats or the graceful incline of their brows-that his photographs take on a life of their own and become truly beautiful.
		This title showcases Wegman's efforts with the Polaroid 20 24 camera, although it is an open question as to whether the book's concept merits the publication of yet another Wegman title.

		He continues to be a video artist and conceptual thinker at the same time that he is an adventurous painter, prolific writer, and a masterly photographer who is able to navigate between art that amuses and surprises and art that challenges and transforms.

		With their amber eyes and slouching postures, the weimaraner dogs photographed by Wegman haunt readers; the artist's use of human limbs in place of the animals' paws adds another dimension of strangeness.
		But their doggy nature is not wholly camouflaged: in the illustration for "This Little Piggy," a canine farmer surreptitiously sniffs a rottweiler puppy "piglet." Wegman extends the comic element to the text by footnoting classic rhymes with dry advice.

		Wegman wiggling his nose, picking it, etc. Raucous observers, splitting their sides, endure shaky camera work and long periods where nothing much happens.
