Movie Cats

Herbert Susan, 2006

Susan Herbert’s innovative, witty and hugely popular renderings of cats in human situations, from Shakespearean drama to masterpieces of Western art, have won her a large and admiring public. Now she draws on her lifelong fascination with cinema to give us a series of scenes from classic films – all with cats playing the leading roles. Here is an irresistible array of well-known characters, from the silent films of the 1920s through big-budget musicals and the lure of the Wild West to contemporary hit films. Here are flirting, dancing, detecting and menacing cats: a beguiling flower seller in Covent Garden, a seductive older woman and a young graduate, a hard-boiled private eye with a falcon.... Susan Herbert studied at the Ruskin School of Art. Having worked for the English National Opera and the Theatre Royal, she now specializes in limited edition prints of theatrical animals and exhibits frequently. Подробнее
