(Svetlana Petrova, Zarathustra the Cat and Edouard Manet, Can I Help You Sir? found here via here)
It’s a well-known fact that no art is Great Art unless it has kittens in it. While the Rubenesque Zarathustra is no longer a kitten, I think we can all agree that her replacing Suzon as the barmaid in Manet’s A Bar at the Folies Bergère improves it inestimably. No one would dare start a fight with that face looking at them.
Svetlana Petrova is a Russian artist who specialises in photoshopping pictures of her cat onto famous works of art. What a joy of a job! You can see more of her work here.
Happy Friday! (It’s the 13th, I only learnt this after I had got out of bed but the sky hasn’t fallen in yet.)
