People love dogs, and dogs love people. Walking a dog is one of the
most visible and mutually beneficial manifestations of that bond.
It is a ritual steeped in affection and obligation. It doesn t have
a day off. It doesn t pay the bills or clean the dishes or do the
laundry. Still, people and dogs alike gain the benefits of
exercise, socialization, shared experiences and observations.
Another benefit, often overlooked, is the pleasure of mutually
indulging a trait that ordinary dogs share with extraordinary
people: curiosity. This book is, in many ways, an ode to
curiosity."Walking Magpie" is about a dog and what a dog sees. It
is also a work of serious photography by a well-known and
pioneering landscape artist: Chuck Forsman, who, for more than
forty years, has been a keen observer of the interface between
landscape and culture as expressed through his paintings and
photographic art. As a result, Forsman often goes to places that
might not be on everyone s radar screen. In this book, Forsman took
a camera with him during his walks with Magpie, the family dog.
Often, these walks are in the neighborhood and surrounding hills
where Forsman lives: near the Flatirons in Boulder. But Magpie
joins Forsman on other adventures, from Alaska and the Northwest
Territories of Canada to Florida, Ohio, and New York City. The
intent is to turn these experiences into art. With each picture we
sense mystery rather than clarity, questions about place rather
than answers. We hardly can know what a dog knows, but with this
book we can appreciate better what a dog sees and senses and
experiences, helping the human and canine imagination to meld, at
least a little."Walking Magpie" is published in conjunction with a
retrospective of Chuck Forsman s photographs at the Denver Art
Museum in October 2013. Published in association with the Denver
Museum of Art."
