Les Chats De Paris: (Cats in Paris) Hardcover – January 1, 1996
by Barnaby Conrad III (Author)

Parisians are renowned the world over for their elegance and savoir-faire, but few are more urbane and savvy than the feline denizens of the City of Light. Cats have captivated the city's imagination for hundreds of years, inspiring writers as diverse as Chateaubriand, Baudelaire, and Colette. From dainty kittens peering from shop windows to mysterious tomcats slinking across rooftops, les chats parisiens embody the spirit of Paris. In Les Chats de Paris, Barnaby Conrad III has collected an irresistible gallery of black-and-white photographs by such master photographers of the twentieth century as Jacques Henri Lartigue, Gilberte Brassai, Izis Bidermanus, and Robert Doisneau. Accompanied by an insightful introduction and the whimsical words of some of the most illustrious French intellectuals, Les Chats de Paris will delight cat lovers - and Francophiles - the world over.

What could be a more sophisticated combination than the elegant streets of Paris, coupled with a regal brigade of fancy French felines? For this luxurious collection of black and white photographs, Barnaby Conrad III has selected prints that reflect the fascination and deep respect Parisians have for their cats. The photographs span almost 100 years of city life and include work by the greatest French photographers including Jacques Henri Lartigue, Gilberte Brassai, and Robert Doisneau. Truly urbanized, the Parisian cat traverses city roofs, slinks over cobbled streets, and curls up in the arms of loving city dwellers. Some of the selected photographs border on the bizarre--Max Vadukul presents a collage of black and white cats flying through the air above a classic Parisian rooftop.
Cats not only fascinated great French photographers, but also captured the imagination of famous French writers. A sampling of kitty-inspired words by Collette and Baudelaire complete this elegant little book.
