Want to know how to catnap with a smile?
How to smell a rat? Everything you wanted to know about the Killer Sparrow of
Ipswitch but were afraid to ask? It's all here and more in Frederick the Literate, Charles
Wysocki's wonderful print for all cat and book lovers.
These are any cat's dream books, from 'Field Guide to the Garbage Can' to 'A Tale of
Two Kitties.' And don't miss the authors, who include such international best-selling
catty writers as Thomas Cheshire and Kitty Mewpur.
Some fine art prints really need no introduction. This is one of them. All you
need to do is look, read the first book's title, and off you go. "It's a technique
I used years ago to get people to look at the entire painting," Charles Wysocki
explains. "I would put signs in the window of a shop or on a wagon, and the
curiosity of people would come into play. Naturally they wanted to read what
was on the signs. Before you know it, you've got them hooked into your painting!"
But the joys of Charles Wysocki's most witty work yet will be readily apparent to
anyone who loves a great book, a beloved pet, or a good joke. "As soon as my
wife, Liz, and I came up with the idea for this painting, we knew we had to do it,"
Wysocki says. "We're all very dedicated and serious about our artwork, but there's
always time for humor. Liz and I spent breakfasts, lunches, and dinners thinking
about the book titles." After all the years doing more subtle 'story' humor, as in
the recent Beauty and the Beast, Wysocki says: "All my more obvious
puns were piling up. They had to come out!"
It's all in homage to a very special feline. We're both cat lovers," says
Wysocki. "We have sever. But the painting is dedicated to the real
Frederick, who was one of our favorite cats, if not the favorit. But now he's in
that 'library in the sky.' So this print is dedicated to him."
Happily, Frederick is now immortal, in that special place where cats dream of fish,
field mice, and a world where the feline comes first.
