Black Cat on a Chair By Andrew l.Von Wittkamp
Art
What we present to you here is extraordinary and simply ... a cat. If you ever had the honor to spend a while in the same room as any cat, you would understand how perfect this painting is. No cat would ever pose for a painting. Yet on a sunny day a century and a half ago, somewhere near Philadelphia, Andrew L. von Wittkamp attempted to catch a cat in Black Cat on a Chair. Executed in oils on a canvas, it is one of possibly two paintings known to be by him. He was a physician and critics consider him an amateur of considerable talent. Nothing else is known about this bold, self-taught artist but to be honestfor me, this painting is a true masterpiece.
