A charming gift book celebrating the role of the cat in Western art - a must-have for all cat lovers
Cats have been revered for centuries. The beauty, charm and beguiling character of these animals have given them a special place in both our hearts and our homes. But they have also provided endless inspiration for artists who have long been fascinated by these furry muses. From moody moggies to fierce felines, lap cats to solitary tabbies and toms, this delightful little book brings together a selection of endearing and amusing depictions of cats. Including a wide variety of works by artists including Prunella Clough, John Craxton, Sunil Gupta, Éduoard Manet, Bernard Leach, David Hockney, William Blake, Andy Warhol and Alex Katz, images of companionship, domesticity and affection accompanied by pithy, insightful texts reveal the prominent place these enchanting creatures hold in our lives, and how they have influenced artists around the world. Featuring images that are sometimes traditional, sometimes contemporary, often touching and occasionally telling, this book is a joyful visual journey through the portrayal of cats in Western art, and is a fitting tribute to our feline friends.
