C. M. (Cassius Marcellus) "Cash" Coolidge

Date and Place of Birth:

September 18, 1844, Antwerp, New York

Life:

C. M. "Cash" Coolidge did a lot of things over the course of his life: he was a druggist, a sign painter and founded both a bank and a newspaper. But he is best remembered for being the guy who painted those poker playing dogs - and half a century prior to the Surrealism movement, at that. Additionally, he invented something that carnival-goers have almost certainly seen: those "cut-outs" (plywood props with painted figures on them, into which one inserts his/her head and has a picture taken).

Important Works:

All were painted in the early 1900s

A Bachelor's Dog
A Bold Bluff

Date and Place of Death:
