Barking Dogs is a notable work by the self-taught African American artist Bill Traylor, who is widely celebrated for his contributions to the field of American folk art. Born into slavery in 1853 in Benton, Alabama, Traylor began his artistic career later in life, after moving to Montgomery in the late 1920s. His oeuvre primarily consists of drawings and paintings created between 1939 and 1942, a period during which he produced over a thousand pieces of art.

Barking Dogs exemplifies Traylor's distinctive style, characterized by bold, simplistic forms and a vibrant use of color. His works often depict scenes from his memories of rural life and the African American experience in the post-Reconstruction South. Traylor's art is marked by its narrative quality, with figures and animals frequently portrayed in dynamic, almost theatrical poses. In Barking Dogs, this narrative element is evident as the dogs are captured in mid-action, their postures and expressions conveying a sense of urgency and movement.

Traylor's work, including Barking Dogs, is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical and cultural context. His art provides a visual documentation of African American life in the South during the early 20th century, offering insights into the social and cultural dynamics of the time. Despite his lack of formal training, Traylor's work has been recognized for its originality and emotional depth, earning him a place among the most important American folk artists.

Today, Barking Dogs and other works by Bill Traylor are held in high esteem by art historians and collectors alike. His pieces are featured in major museums and collections, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the High Museum of Art, ensuring that his legacy continues to be appreciated by future generations.
