a mini survey course

I wanted to find you a nice cats-and-artists page today, after the minimal effort expanded in the last 2 posts. (I was out of town. Cut me a break.)

I found one, all right. Somebody over at Cats In the House sat down and lovingly devised a crash course in miniature of Cats In Art, from antquity to modern times. Does it cover everything? No. (I call dibs on the surrealist Remedios Varo and promise to get to her.) But the pages are pleasantly designed, the examples well chosen, and the comments perceptive and friendly.

So make a gallery visit. Do look for the gorgeous Egyptian bronze of a mother cat with her kitten, and for a fluid, witty print by Kitagawa.
