Cats and Their Ladies, From Wife of Bath to Willa Cather

by Judith Beth Cohen

Judith Beth Cohen has created 24 collages that document the special relationship between women and their cats, inspired by hearing J.D. Vance disparaging “childless cat ladies.” The wonderful old book, The Literary Cat by Jean-Claude Suares and Seymour Chwast, inspired her. Images include cartoonish figures as well as homages to classic artists such as Degas, Kandinsky, Picasso and Modigliani.
