See my original painting that interprets how Matisse might have
painted his own cat!
If Matisse had had a cat, how do you think he would have
painted it? I borrowed from Matisse's techniques and created an original
scene featuring a cat. Using Matisse's famous style, I painted my
interpretation of how he would have portrayed his own cat
:-)
Cat art parody cat prints of Matisse's cat who could
not be trusted no matter how innocent it claimed to be. This cat
print, part of the Famous Artists' Cats art parody series, shows a whimsical
portrait of a devious cat.
This art is copyrighted and may not be
reproduced anywhere by any means without my
permission.
Henri Matisse left
his still life setup with fish bowl to get a cup of coffee.
He got
back just in time to catch his cat who had stepped into the scene with
ulterior motives. The cat, of course, turned to deny it all, giving
him his best, indignant,
"Who, me?" expression.

"Hi Eve. Received the Matisse Cat print. I love it! I'm so glad I found your website (by accident). I'll be ordering another soon. Roula Vitakis" "I searched all over the
internet for the perfect cat art print and I found it at your
website! I love all of the colors in it and best of all, the cat
looks just like my cat Natasha. Another reason that I fell in love
with the Matisse's Cat picture is that when I was a young child, I was
only allowed to have goldfish as a pet, and this picture kind of
represents the pets that I've had in life -- the goldfish from when I was
young, and presently my cat Natasha. Thanks for creating such a
beautiful piece of art! I know I will enjoy this picture as much as
you do. I have already framed it and have it hanging in my
kitchen! I am extremely happy with
it! Lisa

This mischievous cat most likely had fish on the brain and dinner in mind, even as he proclaims his innocence. The original of this painting hangs just above my desk, and whenever I glance up needing a break from my work, I am drawn into the scene in front of me. I stop and admire the cat and then wander through the picture caught up in the action of all the details. The painting has a way of recharging me, and I jump right back into my work. Sometimes, the glance lasts just a couple of seconds, but the mind is taking in the picture's restful influence. Do you like Matisse's
technique of filling the painting with a variety of harmonius
patterns? Do you need brief but effective diversions from
your work so you can come back refreshed? This works for me.
Then the only decision you have to make now, is whether you'd like to have
the print under glass or embedded onto the surface of a
canvas. |

The cat prints of the Matisse cat art parody cat paintings are accompanied by the paragraph describing the story behind them. The story is printed in small type just below the lower left corner in the white border on the archival paper. With the canvas transfers, the paragraph is attached to the back of the stretched canvas, which is ready for framing. For more information about the cat art parody series and the cat prints or canvas transfers, please go to the Cat prints/Canvas transfers page. |
Matisse Simplified shapes, purity of line, decorative patterns, and bold colors formed the basis of Henri Matisse's art. He believed that color should have a direct emotional impact on the viewer. He studied pattern from several cultures, and infused his surfaces with a multitude of designs. He desired to achieve an art of balance, purity, and serenity, devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter. |
