Susan Herbert’s innovative and witty feline renderings of famous masterpieces have won her a large and admiring public. Her first book was The Cats Gallery of Art, in which Frans Hals’s Laughing Cavalier, da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, and Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, among many other classics of the great museums of the world, were presented with cats serving as models. This was followed by a similar work, The Cats History of Western Art, which featured feline versions of thirty-two well-known paintings, including another beloved Botticelli masterpiece, Primavera (or Spring), a dramatic detail from the Sistine Chapel ceiling by Michelangelo, and a number of popular Impressionist pictures. Both of these books, which appeal to cat lovers of all ages, have been out of print for several years. Thames Hudson now offers them together in a paperback volume that will introduce Herbert’s unique paintings to a new generation of book buyers. 63 color illustrations.
