WHY PAINT CATS: From the Creators of the International Best-Seller... "Why Cats Paint"
With true life color photography, this book "Why Paint Cats" - by Burton Silver and Heather Busch, is more than just a art book, it also reflects and inspires a real sense of expression and creativity!!!
From Publisher's Weekly...
While the popular and enduring Why Cats Paint (1994) profiled the
creative output of house pets, highlighting tabbies and Persian
long-hairs with smeary abstract canvases they ostensibly made, the
authors' latest volume inverts the paradigm, and offers instead the
cat-as-canvas.
Rexes and Siamese sport rainbow colors on their faces
and flanks or graphic designs on their hindquarters: cats are
transformed into butterflies, or clowns, or furry American flags.
Presented as the document of a developing art movement, the book
features a potpourri of artists and their "schools" (Neo-Totemism,
Semiotic Anthropomorphism, Avant Funk), pairing big photographs with
faux-interpretive essays about each cat and artist.
Perhaps the most
amazing entry is a portrait of Charlie Chaplin, supposedly painted with
peroxide and vegetable dye on the rear end of a ginger and white cat
named Burger. Amusing as a novelty item if nothing else (and very
amusing at that), the book also offers a gentle kick in the pants to
the gods of art criticism: a cat painted like a fish, for example,
succeeds in "redefining and blurring the relationship between fur and
scale, fin and tail, in order to create a shared intent that
transubstantiates the species and repositions the notion of symbiosis."
It's all so weird that it's sort of irresistible.
