Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. On a winter's night in 1949 in New York City, young marketing student and budding photographer Walter Chandoha spotted a stray kitten in the snow, bundled it into his coat, and brought it home. Little did he know he had just met the muse that would determine the course of his life. Chandoha turned his lens on his new feline friend-which he named Loco-and was so inspired by the results that he started photographing kittens from a local shelter. These images marked the start of an extraordinary career that would span seven decades.Long before the Internet and #catsofinstagram, Chandoha was enrapturing the public with his fuzzy subjects. From advertisements to greetings cards, jigsaw puzzles to pet-food packaging, his images combined a genuine affection for the creatures, a strong work ethic, and flawless technique. Chandoha's trademark glamorous lighting, which made each cat's fur stand out in sharp relief, would define the visual vocabulary of animal portraiture for generations and inspire such masters as Andy Warhol, who took cues from Chandoha's charming portraits in his illustrated cat book.Cats leaps into the archives of this genre-defining artist, spanning color studio and environmental portraits, black-and-white street photography, images from vintage cat shows, tender pictures that combine his children with cats and more. This is a fitting tribute not just to these beguiling creatures but also to a remarkable photographer who passed away in 2019 at the age of 98; and whose compassion can be felt in each and every frame. Fashion has Helmut Newton, architecture has Julius Shulman, and cat photography has Walter Chandoha. His encounter with a kitten blossomed into a career that elevated feline portraiture to an art form. This is a tribute not just to these beguiling creatures but also to a remarkable photographer whose compassion can be felt in each and every frame.

Una noche de invierno de 1949 en Nueva York, el joven estudiante de marketing y fotógrafo en ciernes Walter Chandoha se encontró un gatito abandonado en medio de la nieve, lo cubrió con su abrigo y se lo llevó a casa. Poco podía imaginar que acababa de conocer a la musa que guiaría su vida. Chandoha se puso a retratar a su nuevo amigo felino, al que llamó Loco, y le gustaron tanto los resultados que empezó a fotografiar a los mininos de un refugio de la ciudad. Estas imágenes fueron el punto de partida de una carrera extraordinaria que se prolongaría siete décadas.Mucho antes de Internet y #gatosdeinstagram, Chandoha cautivó al público con los protagonistas peludos de sus fotografías. De anuncios a tarjetas de felicitación, pasando por puzzles y envases de comida para gatos, en sus imágenes confluían un afecto genuino por los animales, una ética profesional intachable y gran maestría. La glamurosa técnica de iluminación de Chandoha, con la que el pelaje de los gatos quedaba perfectamente definido, sentó las bases del vocabulario visual del retrato de animales durante generaciones e inspiró a.
