Edward Gorey Sterling Silver Hanging Cat Necklace/Pendant with Black Velvet Gift Pouch adapted from the cover illustration for?? AMPHIGOREY. 1" x 5/8" x 1/8" 18" chain The drawing showed the cat hanging from the?? crossbar of the letter "H" in Amphigorey. A truly unique figure in American art and illustration, Edward Gorey was born in Chicago in 1925 and died at the turn of the millennium. Defying stylistic description, he has been called an eccentric genius and an Edwardian enigma. He acknowledged his debt to the traditions of 19th century draughtsmen and novelists, as well as the surrealist movement in 20th century art and literature. His painstakingly executed, almost etched style is at once recognizable both for its graphic qualities and extraordinary imagery. His art synthesized a love of literature and a genius for the possibilities of pen and ink. This pendant was created using the lost wax method of casting and is hand finished. Each necklace comes with a description and a pouch. Perfect for gift giving for yourself or others. ?? Purchase will be shipped once payment clears. New York State residents add sales tax.
