Cats playing a quiet game of cards,cats at the ballet,cats having a leisurely lunch on the grass,cats dancing in the boisterous French style or boating on the river.Here are the quintessential Impressionist cats - painted with vivid,joyous colours in their favourite haunts, at their ease in various ordinary activities. With their pensive,brooding expressions,cats lend themselves perfectly to incorporation in the great works of the Impressionist masters, whether strolling among Monet's wild poppies, sitting in Mary Cassatt's lodge at the opera,or even enjoying a Sunday dance at Renoir's Bougival. hey can be charming or steeped in mute despair,vulgar or lovingly maternal,bourgeois or intellectual - but they are always Impressionist cats,caught as if by the camera,spontaneous and unprepared. Susan Herbert has already shown a unique ability to paint cats in unusual and unexpected guises.Here she presents them brilliantly in the much-loved context of Impressionism,a wondrously beguiling sight.
