Krátky popis
Fashion has Helmut Newton, architecture has Julius Shulman, and cat
photography has Walter Chandoha. In 1949, his encounter with a
stray kitten blossomed into a career that elevatedfeline
portraiture to an art form. This is a tribute not just to these
beguiling creatures but also toa remarkable photographer who passed
away this year at the age of 98, and whose compassion can be felt
in each and every frame.On a winter’s night in 1949 in New York
City, young marketing student and budding photographer Walter
Chandohaspotted a stray kitten in the snow, bundled it into his
coat, and brought it home. Little did he know he had just met the
muse that would determine the course of his life. Chandoha turned
his lens on his new feline friend—which he named Loco—and was so
inspired by the results that he started photographing kittens from
a local shelter. These images marked the start of an extraordinary
career that would span seven decades.Long before the Internet and
#catsofinstagram, Chandoha was enrapturing the public with his
fuzzy subjects. From advertisements to greetings cards, jigsaw
puzzles to pet-food packaging, his images combined a genuine
affection for the creatures, a strong work ethic, and flawless
technique. Chandoha’s trademark glamorous lighting, which made each
cat’s fur stand out in sharp relief, would define the visual
vocabulary of animal portraiture for generationsand inspire such
masters as Andy Warhol, who took cues from Chandoha’s charming
portraits in his illustrated cat book.Catsleaps into this
genre-defining artist’s archives, featuring color studio and
environmental portraits, black-and-white street photography, images
from vintage cat shows, tender pictures that combine his children
with cats and more. This is a fitting tribute not just to these
beguiling creatures but also to a remarkable photographer who
passed away this year at the age of 98, and whose compassion can be
felt in each and every frame.The photographer Walter
Chandoha(1920–2019) was a combat photographer in the Second World
War, before a chance encounter with a cat led him on a path that
would shape his professional career. His images have appeared on
over 300 magazine covers and in thousands of advertisements, from
posters and T-shirts to the giant 18x60 foot Kodak Colorama in
Grand Central Terminal, New York City.The author Susan Michalsis
