"Introduction to Meowseum Cat Museum":
Artist Shu Yamamoto was born in Yokohama, Japan in 1948. He graduated from Aichi Prefectural University of Arts and currently lives in Utah, USA, with his family. In 2007, he accidentally saw his son imitating Van Gogh's self-portrait, but the painting was not Van Gogh but the face of a cat. As a cat lover, he was inspired to use this as an opportunity to paint two of his favorite paintings. Elements - "cat" and "art" are combined into creative elements, and the world's famous paintings begin to be fully "meow-ified". From ancient Egypt, the Greek era, the Renaissance, realism, surrealism, Asian art... So far, he has accumulated more than 500 cat-like works, including oil paintings, watercolors, sketches, electronic paintings and other media , in addition to retaining the characteristics of each art genre, he also adds the world view of cats. Looking at his works one after another, it is like being taught a lesson in the art history of cats! Therefore, "Cat Art Museum" became the theme name of this series of works exhibited all over the world.

"The Self-Pawtrait with Bandaged Ear" The cat with injured ears:
Vincent Willem van Gogh is a well-known Dutch post-impressionist master. His works were rarely appreciated during his lifetime. He himself was also deeply troubled by mental illness. His lifelong creation was like searching for tiny spring buds in a desperate world. This famous self-portrait originated from his conflict with the painter Gauguin, which led Van Gogh to cut off one of his ears in anger and simply bandage it. In the painting, Van Gogh's ears are still bandaged, suggesting a fierce conflict, but the protagonist's expression looks pale and quiet. This extreme love and madness is a portrayal of Van Gogh's life and the source of energy for creation. .
