There are very many poorly socialized dogs in Paris, kept in apartments and only walked once or twice a day by their owners. Many of these small lap dogs, called “roquets” by the French, bark and lunge and are generally bad-tempered fellows.
There are still some streets paved with cobble stones here. The majority have been covered by asphalt to prevent rioters from digging them up, as they did in the student manifestations in 1968, to be thrown… at the police. In this painting, a timid appearing hound, a whippet, is confronted by two angry lap dogs who want nothing but to harass it. On the wall in the background, a graffiti, a portrait of the French President acting like an emperor, commanding his storm-troopers to battle for him.
These confrontations between police and rioters were a hallmark of the first three years of his presidential mandate—strikes, protests and riots occurred weekly. And then the Covid-19 pandemic appeared and with that, the successive lockdowns.
