Cat Print Out On The Town

The painting depicts a cat out at night. The original for this picture was a collage, which I use from time to time for more abstract forms of paintings. This method of design uses scissors to “draw” the shapes, which results in a visual image that has a very different character than those which are sketched with a pen or pencil.

The early abstract, and cubist painters, Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Juan Gris, Louis Marcoussis, Francis Picabia, Fernand Leger, and Stuart Davis, just to mention a few, used collage as a study medium to arrive at their earliest cubist and abstract paintings. Often they would cut up pieces of wall paper, fabric, and newspaper to create the compositions for their designs.
