ISBN Impressionist Cats book Paperback 64 pages

Cats playing a quiet game of cards, cats at the ballet, cats having a leisurely lunch onthe grass, cats boating on the river… Here are the quintessential Impressionist cats,painted with vivid, joyous colours in their favourite haunts, at their ease in variousordinary activities.

With their pensive, brooding expressions, cats lend themselves perfectly toreimagining the great works of the Impressionist masters, whether strolling amongMonet’s wild poppies, sitting in Mary Cassatt’s loge at the opera, or even enjoyinga Sunday dance at Renoir’s Bougival. They can be charming or steeped in mutedespair, vulgar or lovingly maternal, bourgeois or intellectual – but they are alwaysImpressionist cats, caught as if by the camera, spontaneous and unprepared.
