Description
Cats, cats, and more cats! Expressive or aloof, affectionate or enigmatic, cats have complicated characters that make them compelling artists' muses. Artful Cats: Discoveries from the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art is a new twist on the American art book and celebrates our cultural heritage through our enduring fascination, love, and bemusement with our feline familiars.
In 130 rarely seen photos, paintings, sketches, manuscripts, and letters from the Archives of American Art, our Artful Cats book shows off the cat companions who inspired, instigated, and at times exasperated Jasper Johns, Frank Stella, Louise Nevelson, Marcel Breuer, Yves Tanguy, Georgia O'Keeffe, Edward Weston, Robert Indiana, Judy Chicago, Berenice Abbott, and Romare Bearden.
Museum Story
The charm and curiosity of feline friends is captured in playful gifts drawn from the Artful Cats collection at the Smithsonian Archives of American Art.
