Andy Warhol was apparently fond of cats.While in Pittsburgh, mom & I visited the Warhol museum. I, being told I couldn't, decided I could, and took many pictures of Warhol's artwork.
I was excited to see all the artwork of animals, especially cats. He even had a taxidermied (is that a word?) cat he used as a subject for photography and printmaking (see orange cat on green background above). And another print of a crazy cat in a medical collar.
My favorites, however, were all the ink &
watercolor sketches of cats. All in bright pinks, yellows, and blues. And most of these were of a cat named Sam.It's nice to know an artist appreciated kitties as much as I do.... even stuffed dead ones.
