About Théophile-Alexandre Pierre Steinlen
French, born in Switzerland · 1859–1923
Théophile-Alexandre Pierre Steinlen (1859–1923) was a French, born in Switzerland artist. Steinlen was born in Switzerland and developed his career in France. His practice included drawing, painting, posters and printed illustrations, often associated with the visual life of Paris and its periodicals. Cats became a recurring subject through which he explored contour, movement and personality. The selected pictures show how varied that subject could be: a sharp silhouette and a relaxed animal on a cushion call for different marks, yet each makes posture central to the image.
Cat Arching Its Back: A black cat arches its back on a strongly lined surface. Steinlen catches the animal’s tense posture through a bold silhouette and closely worked fur. Winter — Cat on a Cushion: A tabby cat lies across a pink cushion, looking directly out of the picture. Steinlen balances the animal’s dark markings with broad areas of warm colour.
