Les Chats de Paris Book

What could be a more sophisticated combination than the elegant streets of Paris, coupled with a regal brigade of fancy French felines? For this luxurious collection of black and white photographs, Barnaby Conrad III has selected prints that reflect the fascination and deep respect Parisians have for their cats. The photographs span almost 100 years of city life and include work by the greatest French photographers including Jacques Henri Lartigue, Gilberte Brassai, and Robert Doisneau. Truly urbanized, the Parisian cat traverses city roofs, slinks over cobbled streets, and curls up in the arms of loving city dwellers. Some of the selected photographs border on the bizarre--Max Vadukul presents a collage of black and white cats flying through the air above a classic Parisian rooftop. Cats not only fascinated great French photographers, but also captured the imagination of famous French writers. A sampling of kitty-inspired words by Collette and Baudelaire complete this elegant little book.Read More

  • Product Description

    Whether pampered pet or fiercely independent stray, cats are an essential part of the rich pattern of Parisian life. They have captured the imagination of the city for hundreds of years, providing lively subjects for photographers and inspiring writers as diverse as Baudelaire, Chateaubriand and Colette. This work presents a collection of duotone images from such photographers as Lartigue, Brassai and Doisneau. It depicts kittens in shop windows, tomcats slinking across rooftops and fat tabbies sleeping in cosy cafes, against the backdrop of the world's most elegant city, accompanied by an introduction and whimsical musings on cats from some of France's great writers. A companion to "Les Chiens de Paris", also compiled by Barnaby Conrad, this collection should appeal to both cat lovers and francophiles.
