The Happy Cat and other Illustrated Poems - Carl Scott Harker - Bog

For Cat Lovers Everywhere: A new book of cat poems with cat art has arrived, written by the author of "Poems by my Cat." This book contains a collection of 24 poster poems featuring fine art illustrations of cats. Each poster, first designed to be printed individually with their own specific look, combines a piece of cat art with an original poem inspired by each cat or cats presented. "This was a work of love - how could it not be? I had been blessed with a project to write about cats! The poems delve into the character of cats and tell stories revolving around cats, while still touching upon the human condition. And in some poems, a cat seems to speak directly from the art itself. "It is hoped cat lovers will be delighted with my poetry, but I know they will be charmed with the art. Here you will find the whimsical, anthropomorphic cat art of Louis Wain as well as more realistic portrayals of our feline friends. "So come and meet these cats and discover what fanciful feline dreams they stirred to life." - Carl Scott Harker The artists included in this book of feline poems are: Louis Wain, Theophile Alexandre Steinlen, Cecil Aldin, Sir John Tenniel, Jean-Léon Gérôme, Emile Munier, Abraham Teniers, Bruno Liljefors, Ida Rentoul Outhwaite, Henri Rousseau, Katsushika Hokusai and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
