To celebrate sponsoring The World Series of Poker, 888poker, an international online poker card room and network, unveiled its recreation of the famous “Dogs Playing Poker” painting by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge on Wednesday. /VCG Photo
The painting created by the artist between 1894 and 1910, featured dogs rather than humans, revealing the real life of the American middle class at that time. Coolidge’s paintings were considered humorous, witty and sarcastic, as well as revealing a certain surrealism. /VCG Photo
888poker, together with Bella, Mitzi, Cleo and the four dogs of Freddie, will present the recreation of the painting to the audience during the 49th annual World Series of Poker which kicked off in Las Vegas on Monday. /VCG Photo
