In a Hidden Garden Collection, "Curious Kitten" by Todd Clausnitzer. First issue in this series. Bradford Exchange, 1993. Plate size approx. 8.25 inches. Suggested retail $50.00.
An amber-eyed kitten walks through the thick garden undergrowth, alert to every movement. Watching the stately irises of vermilion, puce, and crimson shake the last of the morning dew from their shoulders, he notices a tiny ladybug making her way along a delicate flower petal. Stopping to watch, he crouches silently, torn between rapt fascination and an overwhelming urge to pounce.
This is "Curious Kitten," first issue in a remarkable debut series by artist Todd Clausnitzer. Through expert use of perspective — depicting objects in the foreground in sharper focus than those farther from the viewer — he creates the impression of luxurious depth within the close-up view.
Mr. Clausnitzer's expert attention to detail makes the scene so lifelike that it engages a multitude of senses besides sight. The shadowed background and glistening dewdrops, for example, suggest
warm moisture and earthy scents. The flowers and cat's fur are so realistic that they do more than simply suggest velvety texture —they promise it. Thus, Todd Clausnitzer's "Curious Kitten" proves to be a work of art offering both great enjoyment at first glance and beautiful nuances to discover over the years.
The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the U.S.A., a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen
and craftswomen in the U.S.A.
