Another #Caturday classic from today’s visit:
Arnold Lobel (American, 1933-87)
On the Balcony (from Whiskers & Rhymes), 1985
Watercolor on paper
now on display at “Childhood Favorites: 100 Years of Children’s Book Illustration” exhibition at Washington County Museum of Fine Arts
#CatsInArt

label: “60. Arnold Lobel American, 1933-87 On the Balcony, 1985 Whiskers & Rhymes by Arnold Lobel Watercolor on paper Raised in Schenectady, New York, Lobel studied art at the Pratt Institute in New York City. He wrote and illustrated many of his own books and worked on more than 50 books by other authors. He is best known for Prince Bertram the Bad (1963), Frog and Toad series (1970-79), and Mouse Soup (1977). He is among a small group of people who have been honored as both an author and illustrator for the Newbery and Caldecott medals. Whiskers & Rhymes is a volume of original poetry for children that Lobel populated with a cast of humorous cats in a 19th-century setting-not an unusual choice for Lobel. Fables (1980), which he wrote and illustrated, features such characters as a kangaroo that throws spitballs and a camel that wants to dance ballet. Fables won Lobel the Caldecott Medal. The Lobel's cat, Nini, is the subject of books by his wife Anita.”

#Caturday classic: Theodor Seuss Geisel ‘Dr. Seuss' (American, 1904-91)
The Cat in the Hat, c. 1970
Crayon on paper
now on display at “Childhood Favorites: 100 Years of Children’s Book Illustration” exhibition at Washington County Museum of Fine Arts
#CatsInArt #DrSeuss

label: “11. Theodor Seuss Geisel 'Dr. Seuss' American, 1904-91 The Cat in the Hat, c. 1970 Crayon on paper In 1956, William Spaulding, then director of the education division at Houghton Mifflin (est. 1891), challenged Geisel to create an early reader with only 250 of the most familiar words used by children-a book that children would actually enjoy. He felt that the books used to teach reading in schools, such as Dick and Jane, were too boring to be effective. Geisel thought the project would take him a week. Instead, it took him a year and a half to create The Cat in the Hat (1957). The book's success led to the creation of Beginner Books; a publishing house centered on producing similar books for young children learning to read.”

Two names shine out from the entertainment world of the roaring 1920s (Age of the Whacky Wildebeest) : Cat Porter and Severin de Baffi.
...
‘His was a spirit of celebration, in constant peregrination, winding his talents around every project as one does a tail around the leg of a beloved human or table,’ says Tollemande Chitters in ‘Lives in Art: The Paw & the Paintbrush of de Baffi’, and we would agree.

Happy #Caturday!
