William Wegman was born in 1943 in Holyoke, in the state of Massachusetts. Early on, William Wegman wants to become a painter.
He began studying art after high school. The dog is the central subject of the work of William Wegman. Approached initially as a play on anthropomorphic postures and expressions, it is on this work falls and the metaphorizes behavioral systems of man.
Most pictures of Wegman with base, solid slice of humor and provocation, irony, they first seduce then to query. In substituting the dog to man, it appears more as a conceptual artist that fits rather that he who asserts. It goes beyond the image of simple "faithful companion", the dog takes here social and individual values, between conformity and offset.
William Wegman again, backwards, flirts with the codes and mores of society, without requiring a strict meaning each photograph. In most of his shots, Wegman leaves in its flowing abstract photos, or very symbolist, freedom everyone to see what he wants to see, to find, to imagine.
