Wanted or not, mice have always been with us, so it's hardly surprising this humble mammal has a small yet persistent presence all through our culture. When editor Lorna Owens began looking for them in art as well as literature, she found them everywhere, and began collecting images of the mouse in art for her blog Mouse Interrupted. The result is this surprisingly lovely volume—a scurry through art history with delightful anecdotes and more than 80 works, including paintings by Hieronymus Bosch and Gustav Klimt, a silkscreen by Andy Warhol, a print by Hokusai, a watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a photo by André Kertész, a sculpture by Claes Oldenburg, a video installation by Bruce Nauman, and a performance by Joseph Beuys.
