"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 Boy Who Plays the Flute" is an oil painting created by the French Impressionist painter Édouard Manet in 1866 and is now collected in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. The painting depicts a young soldier playing the piccolo in the Guards Band at that time. In the painting, the young man stands with his right foot as the center of gravity, his left leg stretched out, his upper body naturally tilted to the left side of the picture, and his fingers are pressing on the holes of the instrument. His expression He focused on playing a small wooden flute, and melodious notes flowed out.
The painting has no shadows or contours. The painter Edward painted with the minimum subject level, denying the profound sense of the traditional three-dimensional space and making good use of realism. It is a typical painting that embodies a novel style and promoted the late 19th century. Innovations in painting techniques and changes in concepts have had a significant impact on painters in Europe, America, Japan and even China.
After Yamamoto's restoration, the simple composition of the original work and the leisurely image of the flute-playing boy were retained. We specially selected Tamnavulin whisky from Speyside.
