Mid-century Moderncat: Jim Flora, Artist and Illustrator

Mambo For Cats by Jim Flora

Artist and illustrator Jim Flora is well-known for his graphic album covers designed for Columbia Records and RCA Victor in the 1940s and 50s. This great cover, Mambo for Cats published in 1955, is one of his most famous works. If you’re a jazz fan, or if you’re just a fan of groovy modern art, you can have your own Mambo for Cats either as a fine art print or as wearable art on a t-shirt.

Thanks to Kristen for introducing me to Jim’s cool art.
