Cats are a great subject—after all, they have been fulfilling their contract with women throughout history: in return for keeping rodents away, they received protection and supplementary food. Children were allowed to play with the kittens, and a wonderful companionship developed. The authors’ findings proved to be very rewarding: enjoy the selection and the masterful skills and talent of these great artists! ---------- #CatsInArt #BookoftheDay #Art #NonFiction #Paintings https://onlinebookclub.org/shelves/book.php?id=526778
