The Book, Cat, & Cat Book Lovers Almanac

of historical trivia regarding books, cats, and other animals. Actually this blog has evolved so that it is described better as a blog about cats in history and culture. And we take as a theme the advice of Aldous Huxley: If you want to be a writer, get some cats. Don't forget to see the archived articles linked at the bottom of the page.

July 31, 1901


Jean Dubuffet's dates are July 31, 1901 to May 12, 1985. His print Angry Cat (Chat Furieux) is at MoMA. This is the catalog information:

November 1953. Lithograph, composition: 10 15/16 x 16" (27.8 x 40.7 cm); sheet: 15 1/16 x 19 9/16" (38.2 x 49.7 cm). Printer: Mourlot, Paris. Edition: artist's proof before the edition of 20. Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph F. Colin. © 2012 Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / ADAGP, Paris


You want to search for it on google images. Dubuffet had the idea he would ignore beauty, in his art, in a struggle against what a friend of his called "the terrorism of the intellectual." What we have left, in this case is "cat."
