Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth biographical study, rare essays by and about Wain, and 60 of his best-loved illustrations make this a must-have for fans of the cult cat artistWith a wealth of Wain's most famous drawings, as well as rare writings by and about the artist, this is an ideal book for both Wain fans and cat-lovers in general. Louis Wain drew cats: cats playing poker, boxing, playing cricket, and doing almost any human activity. His pictures are widely available today as decorative motifs and popular prints, but in his day, the man dubbed the "Hogarth of cat life" was a celebrity who sold thousands of drawings and paintings to an insatiable public. From humble beginnings, Wain became a hugely successful popular artist, creating the Louis Wain Annual series and the first ever animated cat character, later acknowledged as the inspiration for Mickey Mouse. But after he lost his fortune, he lost his mind. He ended up in a provincial asylum, sketching psychedelic cats that were more fiend-like than feline. When his fate was discovered in 1925, the Royal Family and the Prime Minister joined a national campaign to rescue Wain. The artist never entirely recovered his health, but he was eventually moved to a better home, where he continued to draw and paint almost until his death in 1939.

Book excerpt: The cat--that most graceful, stubborn, and agile of animals--has been a favorite subject of artists the world over from prehistory to the modern day. A spectacular 7,000-year-old engraving in Libya depicts a catfight. Figures modeled by the Babylonians remind us of their belief that the souls of priests were escorted to paradise by a helpful cat. Pablo Picasso was known to have loved cats and famously portrayed them as savage predators. In Victorian times, cats were depicted in loving family groups with mothers caring for their playful kittens. Today, the cat is one of the most popular domestic pets on the planet, and feline art is a hugely popular theme across the world. In his latest eye-catching book, best-selling author Desmond Morris tells the compelling story of cats in art. He explores feline art in its many forms, tracing its history from ancient rock paintings and spectacular Egyptian art to the work of old masters, avant-garde representations, and the depiction of cats in cartoons. Morris discusses the various ways in which artists have approached the subject throughout history, weaving illuminating stories with rarely seen images. The result is a beautifully illustrated book that will delight anyone with a Kitty, Max, or Tigger in their life.
