The exhibition Cats & Caricatures takes as its theme two of the richest subjects explored by renowned artist and illustrator Peggy Bacon (1898-1987): her skill at drawing and exaggerating the characteristic facial features of friends, artists, entertainers, and politicians and her fascination with cats as visual subjects rich in movement, variety and expression.
