A politically liberal Montmarte bohemian, he faithfully portrayed all aspects of Parisian life, but gave special attention to the everyday joys and sorrows of working people.\u003cbr\u003ePerhaps no other sector of Steinlen's art is as strongly associated with his name today as his studies of cats. He never ceased to draw them in all their activities and moods. Cats figure prominently in some of his most famous works, such as his great poster Pure Sterilized Milk from the Vingeanne.\u003cbr\u003eThe cat drawing in the present volume are reproduced from two rare volumes: a 1933 collection of previously unpublished animal drawings (\u003ci\u003eChats et autres bêtes\u003c\/i\u003e, published in an edition of only 545 copies), and a turn-of-the-century album of picture stories without words (\u003ci\u003eDes chats\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 10.8 x 8.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 1980\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51756106678560,"sku":"9780486239507","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/3c7754b063066b170a060f9b806795ae.webp?v=1780074348","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/steinlen-cats-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
