About this work

This print captures a scene from a 1927 ballet called *La Chatte*. It shows a love story between a man and a cat who becomes a girl, then turns back. The artist made this in 1928-1929. The set had shiny black floors and walls. Above it hung a see-through shape that stood for Aphrodite. The costumes were made from a new material called talc. The print was part of a bigger stage design. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more.
