Cats & Art is an exceptional book for anyone who is interested in art and loves cats. Each painting is shown, sometimes with a closeup. Then comes a page with two paragraphs. One about the painting, one about cats.
This is where I was most impressed with this book. The first paragraph will summarize information about the artist, their style of painting, the subject matter, the politics of the time and more. We learn about friendships, family, and different periods of art. Each time, I would then return to the picture to notice those aspects identified by Ms Hodge.
The second paragraph is information about cats. Often, it is about the breed shown (or believed to be depicted) in the piece of art. Sometimes it explains the genetics of different coat patterns. It may list personality traits of the breeds. It will also explain the history of the development of the breed.
Cats & Art was a fascinating read which I highly recommend. As someone who enjoys art museums and especially when I spy a cat in the art, this was the perfect read. I was so impressed with how much information could be presented in two concise paragraphs. This is a great book to consider as a gift, for someone else or yourself.
