CAT BOOK AND CAT MONOPRINTS BY Emily Eve Weinstein

Exploring the subject, she soon learned that every cat had a story, and one story led to another. As the stories became more fantastic, Weinstein traveled to places like West Virginia to meet Regis, the talking cat, and to Brooklyn’s world reknown Scarlett, who rescued her five kittens from a fire. From Scarlett to Avi climbing up 80-foot trees; then Snappy sailing around the world; Kitten, a two-timing neutered Persian; Dazzle surviving against all odds; Wild Boy born feral in the High Sierras; Space Kitty rescued from a lab...just to name a few. Equipped with art supplies, note pad and cat treats, Weinstein worked to entice her subjects and paint and interview their people all at the same time. Like cats themselves, each monoprint is truly unique and the process capricious. A monoprint is first painted on glass. Once the painting is completed, paper is carefully placed over the image. The design is then transferred to the paper by rubbing and pressing it with a wooden spoon or rolling it through a press. The results are always a surprise, being both backwards from the original painting and squashed. Remarkably it all works in this unique, beautiful, often touching and funny book on cats. Cat Book is 138 pages long and consists of 59 stories accompanied by 82 full color plates. Including S&H, it retails for $21.75 (non-NC residents) or $23.44 (NC residents, with 7.75 % sales tax).
