At every point on the art history time line that began with prehistoric cave paintings nearly twenty thousand years ago, Man the Artist created images of the animals around him. But, in the huge collection of art works that man has amassed since emerging from the cave, representations of the domestic cat are relatively few. We have gathered a small but interesting exhibit of images that illustrate how cats have been portrayed by artists of various cultures during various periods. Our exhibit is arranged in several galleries, and images are presented in roughly chronological order. In The House Galleries.
Cats are forever.
