These 66 drawings and eight picture-stories represent the best of Steinlen's scattered, rare cat depictions, available nowhere else. Artists will learn cat dynamics from the spare, expressive lines.

Théophile Alexandre Steinlen (1859-1923) a laissé quelque 4.300 oeuvres en trente ans de création. Il a travaillé pour le cabaret de Salis, pour Bruant et Toulouse-Lautrec ainsi que pour des journaux, mais c'est surtout la représentation de la condition sociale du Paris de la Butte des années 1900 (lavandières, couples enlacés, enfants de la rue, ouvriers au travail ...) qui fera son succès.

Superb lithographs executed for celebrated turn-of-the-century Parisian magazine. Artists, actors, thieves, prostitutes, etc. portrayed in city environs with uncommon understanding and skill. 118 black-and-white illustrations. 3 in color. Publisher's Note. Captions.

Issued in conjunction with the exhibition held at the Richard H. Driehaus Museum, February 11, 2017-January 7, 2018.

Published on the occasion of the centenary of World War I, this Bulletin, which accompanies the related exhibition “World War I and the Visual Arts,” on view at The Met until January 7, 2018, explores the myriad and often contradictory ways in which artists responded to the world’s first modern war. Drawn primarily from The Met’s collection of works on paper and supplemented with loans from private collections, both presentations move chronologically from the initial mobilization in early August 1914 to the tumultuous decade that followed the armistice of November 1918. Ranging from expressions of bellicose enthusiasm to sentiments of regret, grief, and anger, the selected works—from prints, photographs, and drawings to propaganda posters, postcards, and commemorative medals—powerfully evoke the conflicting emotions of this complex period. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Verdana}
