by FINI, LEONOR
Belgium: Editions Michele Trinckvel, 1988. First Edition. Signed presentation copy from Leonor Fini, inscribed by the author: “For Ray, Leonor.” Oversized coffee table format. Text in French. Fine in a fine dust jacket. A delightful book of color photographs by Tana Kaleya of ‘cats in the studio’ of artist and author Leonor Fini, featuring Ms. Fini’s beautifully fantastical paintings and accompanying text. There are cats posing in front of paintings, cats lounging on embroidered cushions next to paintings, cats frolicking on easels, cats using paintings as bridges, cats hiding behind pots full of paint brushes, cats sleeping on stacks of art books, and so on. What a lovely combination of art and animal, ‘purrfectly’ suited to one another. (Inventory #: 11145E)
