- Artist
- Raya Bodnarchuk, born New York City 1947-died Rockville, MD 2021
- Luce Center Label
- Raya Bodnarchuk emphasizes that she is more interested in animals as forms than as personalities. As the title of this piece implies, All Good Dogs is not a portrait of any particular dog, but represents all dogs. The animal is a "good" dog because it sits calmly, perhaps after being instructed to do so.
