Raining Cats and Dogs 1969

"Raining Cats and Dogs" is a 1969 assemblage by Robert Filliou, a French artist known for his playful and conceptual approach to art. The work features a small, red umbrella covering a miniature scene of two chairs and two toy dogs. Filliou's use of everyday objects and playful subject matter challenges traditional notions of sculpture and invites viewers to consider the absurdity and humor of everyday life. The work's title, a common English idiom, adds to the sense of lightheartedness and whimsy.
