Lot description

Martin Leman, British b.1934 - See You Soon, 1974; oil on shaped panel, signed lower right 'Leman' and titled and dated to the inscribed label attached to the reverse, 31 x 27 cm (unframed) (ARR) Note: according to the owner, this was the first work by the artist to feature a cat in the composition. Martin Leman is celebrated for his naïve and gently surrealist style reminiscent of Henri Rousseau. He is particularly known for his paintings of cats and the numerous illustrated books he has made, including 'Comic and Curious Cats' which featured a text by Angela Carter, making him a natural heir to Louis Wain.
