July 11, 2016 - November 13, 2016 - This exhibition describes how printmakers, for over six centuries have represented felines in their work. Across the centuries, cats appear starting with Albrecht Dürer’s Adam and Eve where a cat coyly waits to pounce on a mouse to the intimate domestic scene in Rembrandt van Rijn’s Virgin and Child with a Cat and Snake. From Francisco Goya’s nightmarish The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters cats to John Sloan’s tenement interior A Woman’s Page, cats insinuate themselves into people’s lives of the artist’s compositions. A special selection of 19th and 20th century Japanese prints from the Joel and Bernice Weisman collection on loan to the museum will rotate during the length of the special showing.
