Unsigned, Unnumbered printers proof // HMV Dog by Banksy is a 2004 screen-print that plays with the iconic image of a dog listening to a gramophone, originally used in advertisements for HMV (His Master’s Voice). In Banksy's version, the dog is humorously depicted holding a bazooka aimed at the gramophone, a subversive twist that critiques consumer culture and the commodification of art. The stark contrast of black and white adds to the simplicity and immediacy of the visual message, while the dark humor invites viewers to question authority and the role of media in shaping public perception.

What is Lettrism?
Lettrism is an art form that uses letters, words, and symbols to create artwork. The movement was established in Paris in the 1940s and later gained popularity in the 1950s in America. Lettrisme is the French spelling of the movement's name, derived from the French word for letter.
