Seize Fat Cat Art: Famous Masterpieces Improved By A Ginger Cat With Attitude Crafted By Svetlana Petrova Conveyed As Physical Book

the paintings with the addition of a ginger cat! This book has inspired me to learn how to photoshop my magnificent ginger cat and make a calendar showing him off in all his glory.
Svetlana Petrova's "Fat Cat Art: Famous Masterpieces Improved by A Ginger Cat with Attitude" is a wonderful book for cat lovers! I really enjoyed the masterpieces after they had been improved by Zarathustra.
I also found Ms. Petrova's writings to be delightful and a wonderful addition to the art in the book, I would definitely recommend this book to feline lovers,
My copy of this book was won from the Goodreads website, I would give it.if I could! I guess I'm a bit partial to this book because I used to have a kitty that could be Zarathustra's doppelganger and I now have another ginger cat with attitude, Mr.
Sunny.

I won this book through the giveaways, It is purrfect. Someone had to say it, If you like art and cats you will like this book, Very funny. What's better than art history and cats Vakre malerier og søt katt, men konseptet er veldig barnslig lol, Kjøpte den ikke for katten, for å si det mildt, Svetlana Petrova's Fat Cat Art: Famous Masterpieces Improved by a Ginger Cat with Attitude is a clever collection of famous art into which Petrova'slb, ginger tabby, Zarathustra, has been thoughtfully inserted, That concept alone would probably be enough, but Petrova has upped the ante by integrating a cute combination of accompanying text written from Zarathustra's perspective as the book progresses through the history of art by select genres in chronological order.
The book develops a number of different themes, exploring the place of memes in popular culture, the symbolism and stylistic conventions of art history, and the many ways in which the ubiquitous tabby has been excluded from iconic artconspiracy, perhaps Zarathustra might agree.


These works are far more than just photoshopping a cat into a famous painting, Instead, Petrova had to meticulously work in the style of the original artist to drape a hand around this kitty and otherwise position the cat into the work, There's definitely something here for everyone, and it was hard for me to chose a favorite as they were all so entertaining, The kittyatLascaux, El Greco, Sargent, and Whistler are definitely in the running! Fun stuff, for which I thank the First Reads Giveaway folks for delivering this one to my house where I could share them with another willful ginger kitty.
I love all the great pictures and the stories are awesome, This is a great coffee table book, I find myself picking it up often to look at the great cat pictures, You have a wonderful and whimsical way of sharing the pictures, This book is worthy ofstars, MY ginger cat also agrees with this :
Thank you GoodReqads, com for the book
Thank you to Svetlana Petrova for this wonderful picture and story book that I will display and look at for a long time,
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A WAY TO INCORPORATE YOUR LOVE OF CATS AND ARTWORK, . . HAVE NO FEAR, THIS DOES IT FOR YOU! I received this book for free via Goodreads thank you!

So this book is exactly as advertised, It's famous art with a large cat edited in, So if that's what you're looking for, you're good to go, I took away a star for the same reason some others have criticized it this would be so much more effective and enjoyable in color!
Anyway, fun book to palate cleanse.
Delightful reimagination of classic art through the ages improved by the addition of a rotund ginger cat, Perfect gift for art lovers and cat lovers alike, Thank you to artist sitelinkSvetlana Petrova for her vision, cat wrangling and supreme photoshop skills for transforming an ideal from a potentially gimicky meme into a true pleasure, This was a gift from a friend and it was very cute, I won a galley copy of this on goodreads, As a ginger cat owner, I was excited to win this book, However, aside from the covers it is in black and white which severely detracts from the enjoyment, So much disappointment. I didn't actually read the book, but did anyone really However, I did look at the pictures, and those alone are worth it, This book takes classical art works and adds ginger cats to them, The author getsfor the art works, which are intriguing, She getsfor the lessinteresting talking about the pictures, I now have another favorite book! Going to keep this one close by, It will always make me smile, Thank you! This was a lot more fun than I expected, and had much more content than most "novelty" catthemed books, Petrova takes famous paintings and "reinterprets" them, adding her cat Zarasthrusa to each one, She also adds comments "from the cat", Some are more successful than others, but I enjoyed seeing them all, I had considered buying a print of her version of the Dali "Persistence of Vision", but the shipping charges from Russia were a bit too much, What a fun book! As the owner of a fullbodied "house puma" myself, I definitely appreciate the true art of exhibiting of a robust feline, Famous artworks with a fat ginger cat! Seriously, this idea is stellar, The actual realization is incredible too, if you read how the artist creates the actual works with all the posing and photo shopping, They're all seriously cute, but the Boticelli is my personal favorite, It's a piece I recreated myself in High School, except I did it as an anime style piece, A great book for cat and art lovers alike! Four, Photoshopping a fat ginger cat in works of art sounds gimmicky, but Svetlana Petrova and her cat muse, Zarathustra, make this combination work, and there is nothing gimmicky about it.
Petrova's introduction gives the backstory about how she came to this idea, She writes with a distinct voice and speaks eloquently and succinctly about the popularity of cats in pop culture and how her Fat Cat Art taps into that but is also something more.
She talks about the process, which gets technical but is fascinating with how she photographs her cat in the pose she wants to insert into an art piece, The book divides the art into chapters of the different periods, and each artwork includes a blurb in Zarathustra's voice about how the cat was supposed to be in each artwork but was erased from history, at the same time giving bits of history and trivia about the art work itself, along with bits about cats.
It's cute seeing the cat using cat language, like "mews" for muse, "arrt" for art, and speaking with the royal "we" and cat with a capital C, It's a clever way of sneaking in art history, which is one of Petrova's stated purposes behind her Fat Cat Art, especially if readers/viewers want to compare the original.
The artwork is indeed improved by the presence of her cat, with clever positions and appropriate expressions, The photoshopping is done so well that it's hard to see most of the time that the cat wasn't originally there, Zarathustra's grandiose voice makes the history and trivia interesting and not dry at all, and it is a huge part of not getting hung up on the unlikely premise that the cat was supposed to be present at all periods of art history that it had been "erased" from.
This book is almostpages long, even with it being at least half picture and half explanations, and it takes longer to read through the explanations, but the reading is worth it with Zarathustra's distinct voice making the educational bits engaging to read and taking each picture beyond just an interesting novelty.
My favorites were the Mona Lisa and The Persistence of Meowmery, This wasn't quite what I expected, I received this book in a firstreads giveaway and have had it for a few weeks, deciding what I really thought about it,

My main concern is this: the

pictures inside are all in grayscale, so the fact that Zarathustra is a ginger cat is completely irrelevant, He's a gray cat in gray paintings in the book, I don't know if there's no color because this is an ARC, or if the final release will also have blackandwhite pictures, but in a book of a ginger cat painted into famous works of art, I expected at least color images.
It's hard to see, and the printing is not a very high quality, so even as a coffee table book, this is sort of a disappointment,

The concept is a lot more fun and a lot less cheezy than it could have been, so bravo on that, I enjoyed getting into the story and learning bits and pieces about the author, the cat, and the works of art included therein, This could have been a really fun art book, . . but again, with the poor image quality and lack of color, I was sorely disappointed,

If this book was for sale, I wouldn't buy it, If this book was for sale with high quality, color images, I would probably order it, Enormously entertaining, including the text, Brilliant concept! Loved the pictures but hated the text, But lets be honest, I bought this for the pictures, Aboutin I gave up on the text, .
