cat on a midcentury chair

Midcentury: clean, simple design for the shiny progressive future (in the 1950's and 60's, that is). The streamlined comfort of a bold, busy new era. So: Perfect for cats, who are nothing if not streamlined comfort personified. And that's why I had to bring you this "Cat on a midcentury chair" by the Australian artist olive dear: when I saw this I laughed aloud with the sheer excellence of the pairing.
When I asked her, olive dear wrote: "I've had the pleasure of sharing my life with two lovely cats, and the cat in this painting actually looks a lot like a combination of the two - the big eyes of one, and the colouring and pose of the other." And if you go on over to olivedear.com and look around, you just might find the other cat rocking more atomic age seating.
