No act of kindness,
no matter how small,
is ever wasted.

ℹ️ Ernest Allen Batchelder was a key figure in the American #ArtsAndCraftsMovement.
#CatsInArt
digital scan of an illustration from a book: Four line drawings of cats, labeled FIG 81. “The exercise was intended to teach design principles like economy of line. It demonstrates how to interpret fluid subjects using only straight lines and angles. The author, Ernest Allen Batchelder, was a central figure in the American Arts and Crafts movement.” (via Google)

“A pair of blue and white #cat night lights”
China (for export market), Kangxi Period (1662-1722)
Porcelain, H 8 in. (20.3 cm)
www.christies.com/en/lot/lot-6...
#CatsInArt #ChineseArt
official auction photo of the cat night lights pair on a white background “Modeled in mirror image, seated erect.” “Porcelain night lights modeled as cats date to at least the late Ming Dynasty, as evidenced by their appearance in the famed circa 1643-46 shipwreck of the VOC vessel The Geldermalsen, sold as the Hatcher Cargo by Christie’s in 1983-84. Their purpose was to ward off rats and mice, cats being known for both their hunting abilities and their superb night vision. This charming night light form continued to be produced into the Kangxi period (1662-1722), in which some of the finest examples were made for export to the West. Most are modeled recumbent, this pair, with their erect seated posture, is both rare and highly appealing.”

A woman wearing white garment with legs crossed holds a black cat on her lap while sitting on a settee, with a large bouquet of flowers beside her, and the bare legs of another woman. This may be a reference to Edgar Degas' "Olympia" (1863).

The Cat Symphony by Moritz von Schwind, 1868
“A humorous depiction of a melody for violins in which, instead of notes, numerous cats move across the paper." 🐈
Given as a gift to his friend, violinist Joseph Joachim, to celebrate being named Berlin Academy of Music’s director. 🎁
The Cat Symphony, Moritz von Schwind, 1868, H 31.6cm x W 25cm, pencil/brown pen/brown brush on paper. Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe collection. The Cat Symphony, one of his best-known hand drawings, is a humorous depiction of a melody for violins in which, instead of notes, numerous cats move across the paper. The composition can be interpreted as a caricaturing dig at Richard Wagner's music, which the artist did not appreciate very much. Schwind gave the sheet to one of his friends, the violinist Joseph Joachim. The reason for the gift was Joachim's appointment as director of the Berlin Academy of Music. https://www.kunsthalle-karlsruhe.de/kunstwerke/Moritz-von-Schwind/Die-Katzensymphonie/534863D24F68720B79AF7EA587E08B3B/
