Paintings & Soft SculpturesDahlov's love of animals has persisted throughout the years. She has always depicted her subjects in somewhat stylized and imaginative form rather than realistically in a photographic sense. She is not interested in realism as such: but she does base her workon actual animals, enhancing their forms to bring out the desired artistic effects, often rendering the backgrounds in a modified cubistic style. Dahlov has painted in oil from the age of sixteen, but did not start creating her soft sculptures until around 1945. Her soft sculptured animals are unique in conception. She was among the first in this century to develop soft sculpture as a fine art form.
