Stunning and timeless collection of unpublished photographs of cats from the photographer who defined the visual vocabulary of feline image making for generations to follow.
Iconic cat photographs never been published before in over 50-60 years.
These photographic muses were Chandoha's own family cats or rescue cats from the Greenwich Village animal shelter (the Chandoha archive has photos of the shelter from 1949). There was a level of unparalleled trust between artist & subject...
This volume includes his original muse Loco, who he found during a NYC snow storm in 1949 & Chandoha's first photos of Loco's antics were picked up & published by the picture magazines around the world at that time, going viral in 1949. From that time on, Chandoha's photographic practice focused on cats (& then dogs as well).
Praise for Walter Chandoha: Family Cats From the Archive 1949-1962
You can really see that there's trust between the cat and the photographer in these gorgeous pictures. I spend a lot of my time looking at pictures of cats doing this job, but I can confidently say that these are some of the best; and at just £16 for this volume, it would make a great gift for the cat lover in your life
Amy Davies, Amateur Photographer
These photographs show [Walter Chandoha's] sheer commitment, patience and mastery...
