About the Item

From a series of Bawden Cat illustrations we have listed. To see the others and our other Modern British Art, scroll down to "More from this Seller" and below it click on "See all from this Seller" - or send us a message if you cannot find the artist you want. Edward Bawden R.A. (British, 1903 - 1989) Mum Cat with Nine Lives Pen and ink 38 x 27 cm Signed and inscribed lower right. Bawden developed a love of cats at a young age, copying Louis Wain's cat pictures. In his later years, his drawings of cats became yet more frequent; his cat Emma featured in much of his work. In an interview with House and Garden in 1987 he said: "No cat will suffer being lifted up and dropped into an empty space intended for her to occupy; that procedure led inevitably to Emma, tail up, walking away at once, so I had to wait patiently until Emma had enjoyed a good meal of Coley and was ready to choose her daily sleeping place, wherever it might be. I would then spring into action." Doubtless he found it easier to draw an imaginary cat, such as this one.
