Studies of Cats 19th-20th century

Curator: Schevill's "Studies of Cats" at the Harvard Art Museums presents us with a menagerie of feline forms, each rendered with delicate precision. Editor: It's pure, distilled cat-ness! They seem to embody all the lazy elegance and mischievous curiosity we project onto our feline companions. Curator: Cats often symbolize independence, mystery, and even witchcraft in certain cultural contexts. The variety of poses could represent the multifaceted nature of these associations. Editor: Maybe! Or maybe the artist just really loved cats and wanted to capture every adorable, sleepy, twitchy moment. I know I would. Curator: Perhaps both interpretations hold merit. Schevill's artistic exploration invites us to reflect on the enduring connection between humans and animals. Editor: Exactly! And maybe, just maybe, to go home and give our own furry overlords a little extra love.
