"If, in a fire, I had to choose between the most beautiful Rembrandt and saving a cat, I would choose the cat." Alberto Giacometti The cat crosses the history of civilizations and the history of art. And its symbolism fluctuates: venerated in ancient Egypt, assimilated to Satan in medieval religious painting, companion of the free and independent artist in the 19th century... Throughout the pages, browse the works of Lorenzo Lotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Francisco de Goya, Auguste Renoir, Pierre Bonnard, Fernand Léger, Balthus or Andy Warhol. This is art, a collection to (re)discover the great artists in 40 illustrated notes. - A precise selection of essential and unexpected works - Clear visual references: chronologies, maps, graphs - Varied boxes: anecdotes, contextualization, influences
