Famous Artists' Cats: The Book - Paperback

by Deborah Julian (Illustrator), David Stone (Author)

Many famous artists, from Klimt to Picasso to Matisse, loved cats. They posed for photographs with them and allowed their feline friends to wander around the studio. Sadly, not enough of them allowed their cats to participate in the art. That is, the artists never let their cats get inside the pictures. As every cat lover knows, the cats must surely have tried. Famous Artists' Cats, inspired by cat artist Deborah Julian's popular images, aims to correct this historic deficiency. Partnering with her own cats, George, Billy and Sam, in 17 full color works of digital art, she has swung open the studio doors and let them get inside the frames at last. Enjoy multiple feline explorations within the imagination of Matisse and Van Gogh. See what happens when a vain young woman in front of a mirror is replaced by a cat. See if George, Billy or Sam can out-parody Lichtenstein. David Stone puts the pictures in perspective comments about he artists and the art being invaded. Deborah Julian's cat art is often funny, sometimes insightful and always respectful of both the artists and the cats.
