Impressionist Cats

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £1.00
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Cats playing a quiet game of cards, cats at the ballet, cats having a leisurely luncheon on the grass, cats dancing in the boisterous French style or boating on the river. Here are the quintessential Impressionist cats - painted with vivid, joyous colours in their favourite haunts, at their ease in various ordinary activities.

With their pensive, brooding expressions, cats lend themselves perfectly to incorporation in the great works of the Impressionist master, whether strolling among Monet's wild poppies, sitting in Mary Cassatt's loge at the opera, or even enjoying a Sunday dance at Renoir's Bougival. They can be charming or steeped in mute despair, vulgar or lovingly maternal, bourgeois or intellectual - but they are always Impressionist cats, caught as if by the camera, spontaneous and unprepared.

Susan Herbert has already shown a unique ability to paint cats in unusual and unexpected guises. Here she presents them brilliantly in the much loved context of Impressionism, a wondrously beguiling sight.
