Book Description
“It’s official. That thing that classic art has been missing is a chubby reclining kitty.” —The Huffington Post Internet meme meets classical art in Svetlana Petrova’s brilliant Fat Cat Art. Featuring her twenty-two-pound, ginger-colored cat Zarathustra superimposed onto some of the greatest artworks of all time, Petrova’s paintings are an Internet sensation. Now fans will have the ultimate full-color collection of her work, including several never-before-seen pieces, to savor for themselves or to give as a gift to fellow cat lovers. From competing with Venus’s sexy reclining pose (and almost knocking her off her chaise lounge in the process) in Titian’s Venus of Urbino, to exhibiting complete disdain as he skirts away from God’s pointing finger in Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam, Zarathustra single-handedly rewrites art history in the way that only an adorable fat cat can.

Pages : 200
Book Description
Once, a 14 year-old Andrew Lloyd Webber happened to chance upon the painting of the 'Flaming June'. He was a budding collector and his hobby was financed by his grandmother, who had just shelled out £50 for three huge, beautifully-illustrated volumes of Dugdale's History of Ancient Abbies and Monasteries. The boy described in detail the painting he fell in love with, but his grandmother was adamant: 'I will not have Victorian junk in my flat'. This is the story of Ada Pullen (Dorothy Dene); Victorian actress, nude model and muse, rumoured to be one of the subject of Leighton's 'Flaming June', on her life, success and celebrity, and the story of the painting itself. Lloyd Webber's grandma was wrong. The current value of the painting is £14 million.
