This is the guidebook for the exhibition "Cat Art Museum-CAT ART World Famous Paintings. Fully Meowing" at the Taipei Flower Expo Park in 2019. According to the official statement, the guidebook contains 60 works from this exhibition~

I didn't plan to go to the exhibition, but then I saw that my friends responded well, so I went there two days before the exhibition closed, and because of this, I bought a guidebook that was much cheaper than the original price (150 yuan)!

Take the opportunity to review various world-famous paintings and appraise artistic literacy (?). Also because the names of the author and the paintings were changed to cat-related names. At the time, I was playing a guessing game and crazy Google 🤣

The guidebook also contains these interesting introductions and names (pictured below), like the classic Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa’s smile becomes "Mow Vinci’s "Cat Na Lisa". The text part is accompanied by the original content, and I think the Chinese translation is quite ingenious. And each piece also has a different small seal design~

The world-famous paintings of cat elements are really the more you look at them, the more you like them. My favorite is the series of paintings by Mu Xia (No, it’s Miao Xia) and the girl with pearl earrings!

After watching the exhibition, I was always urged to buy a small reproduction of a girl cat wearing pearl earrings, but I finally didn’t start, so I bought postcards and took away more paintings at once 🐱 and a gashapon with a mini puzzle (get the milk) s cat)!

About "Cat Art Museum"

Since cats helped the ancient Egyptians catch mice 5,000 years ago and were later regarded as goddesses, cats have been inseparable from the development of human civilization. Although it used to enter the low ebb of nearly 3 centuries because of the connection with the witch, now it is small, quiet, and suitable for human small boxes (humans say "apartments"), once again unreasonably chaotic into the new century. Life, continue to domesticate the great cause of mankind.

Despite the cats’ persuasive temptations, humans still love to complicate matters to emphasize their pain, especially why do humans make art so complicated?

In the Cat Art Museum, there is no need to understand the technique of the work, no need to think about the background of the work, and no need to define the value of the work. If you like it, just stare at it. This is the truth of the Cat Art Museum.
