5.0 out of 5 stars
The importance of being feline, 6 Feb 2000
By Grady Harp - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cat: Wild Cats and Pampered Pets (Hardcover)
CAT: Wild Cats and Pampered Pets is another art book in a series prepared by the inventive Ivy Press in England that takes a seemingly simple subject to further enhance our knowledge about the visual arts. What cat lover could pass this little celebratory tome by? Using images of cats - from every form of our current concept of house pet to the most obtuse precursor and wild counterpart - this book provides paintings, drawings, sculptures of cats that juxtapose famous historical depictions by Klimt, Rubens, Fragonard, Bosch, Rembrandt along side works by contemporary artists both famous and emerging. CAT is not only a charming homage to a favorite creature but also a joyful introduction to art history and contemporary representational paintings of the highest order.A coffee table book? Yes...it richly enhances the decor of your living space. But it is also small enough in format to tuck away for those idle hours away from home. This beautiful, thoughtful, informative little tome is a perfect gift for art lovers .... and young people who you'd like to become art appreciators!

dutch treat, 13 Dec 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cat: Wild Cats and Pampered Pets (Hardcover)
I bought this book in amsterdam, and even in dutch it was vastly amusing. Now I am buying it in english for my mom. It's interesting to see how such varied artistic styles have represented the cat. Whimsical titles for each section make it even more amusing. Kids might also enjoy reading about the "wild cats", "solitary cats", etc.
Listmania!
