Frau und Hund ("Woman and Dog") is a German journal of art, poetry and related subjects, including politics, published thrice yearly by painter Markus Lüpertz and edited by writer G.H. Holländer. The subtitle "Zeitschrift für kursives Denken" (Journal of Diagonal Thinking") plays on the German term for italics ("kursiv") and the German equivalent of (dis)course, Kurs as opposed to Diskurs.

The journal was first published on occasion of the ART BASEL and distributed to visitors of the fair; a supplement entirely published in Italian was presented at the German Academy of Villa Massimo, Rome, on April 1, 2004, while a similar French version was presented at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, on November 29, 2006. Overall, ten regular numbers have been published until the beginning of 2007.

There are hardly any reviews of periodica in the German press. The journal was, however, reviewed twice by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in their review column for periodica, the most important reference there is at prsent, alongside such titles as Kursbuch or Merkur, once in 2004 and once in 2006. DIE WELT published an extract from no. 8, accompanied by a short characterization of the review's aims, in November 2006. The only web-reference easily available will be found on the website of the German Academy of Villa Massimo at Rome (http://www.villamassimo.de/de/vrstltngn/2bfad095ee0c56b02/50177496530d0a44e.html); the Centre Pompidou's website also described the journal, on the occasion of its presentation there, so patient research on this rather confusing site might turn the relevant page up again, under the heading "Les revues parlées".
