Notes : Cecil Skotnes’ print of a cat made such an impression on William Kentridge that he has acknowledged its influence on his use of cats in many of his films, drawings and prints. During a reflection on his lifelong association with prints and printmaking at a printmaking conference held in Cape Town in 2003, Kentridge gave a charming account of the significance of Skotnes’ print of a cat, given to him while still a child and which hung in his bedroom. By showing several images and film clips in which a cat appears in his work, he demonstrated the deep effect of Skotnes’ cat on him.[i]
