Artful Cats

Artful Cats explores the quirky and charming relationships of artists with their cats, in rare documents such as sketches and drawings, letters, and photographs from the nineteenth century through early 2000s. Whether expressive or aloof, the complicated characters of cats make them compelling artists' muses. They make appearances as independent studio companions, beloved members of the family, and the subjects of often-playful artworks. The artwork in this volume reflects our enduring fascination with felines.
