My Wife’s Lovers

Carl Kahler (Austrian, 1855–1906)

Kahler was born in Linz. From 19 October 1874 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, with Ludwig von Löfftz and Wilhelm Lindenschmit the Younger. After the end of his studies at the Academy, he spent some time studying in Paris, before settling in Munich.

Between 1881 and 1888 he exhibited his works in Berlin, Munich and Vienna. In 1885 he emigrated to Australia, and worked until 1890 in Melbourne, where he painted three pictures of the Melbourne Cup. In one of these paintings, The Betting Ring, every person in the crowd is an individual portrait.

He later emigrated to the United States. In 1891, commissioned by Kate Birdsall Johnson, he painted the picture My Wife's Lovers depicting 42 cats, which became extremely well known as a published print. From the time of this work he became increasingly known for his paintings of cats.

Kahler died aged 49 years in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.

My Wife's Lovers, 1891

This is a canvas painting by Austrian artist Carl Kahler (1856–1906) depicting forty-two of American millionaire Kate Birdsall Johnson'scats. Most of the cats are Turkish Angora and Persian. The title of the painting was potentially conceived by her husband, who may have referred to the cats with the phrase. Measuring 1.8 m × 2.6 m (6 ft × 8.5 ft), the canvas weighs 103 kg (227 lb).

Having never painted a cat before, Kahler spent three years studying cats' poses and learning their habits. He reportedly received around US $5,000 for the painting (equivalent to US $160,000 in 2022).

My Wife's Lovers subsequently hung in Frank C. Havens' Piedmont Art Gallery in Piedmont, California, and was later purchased by a couple from Chicago. In November 2015, the painting was sold at Sotheby's to a private California buyer for US $826,000.

I Am A Cat – Sōseki Natsume

The cat critiques human conversations. Now that it has a caretaker, the guests that enter receive judgment from the cat– as well as his guardian in social interactions. There is found: Hypocrisy and Pretentiousness.

🐾: "I merely concluded that human beings were good for nothing except for this strenuous employment of their mouths for the purpose of whiling away their time and laughter at things which are not funny and in the enjoyment of amusements which are not amusing".

~The Cat's Complaints About His Caretaker:

• Why can't he listen to the stories of the other two in silence? What good purpose can he serve by talking such utter rubbish just because his competitive spirit has been roused?

~The Cat's Complaints About the Caretaker & Their Friends:

• Though they adopt a nonchalant attitude keeping themselves aloof from the crowd, in reality they, too, are shaken by just the same greed and worldly ambition as their fellow men.

• The urge to compete in their anxiety to win are revealed flickeringly in their everyday conversation and only a hair's breadth separates them from the Philistines whom they spend their idle days denouncing. They are all animals from the same den.

[strawberryoverlord]

Can I pay someone to forge a painting for me to have specifically? Like I'm ngl I hate the look of canvas prints and I'd rather pay a pretty penny for a really good replica of a painting I like

If I had thousands of dollars I'd love to get someone to paint me a replica of 'My Wife's Lovers' 1891 by Carl Kahler
