One Step to Beauty

The only way to Beauty is through classical Ballet. Edgar Degas demonstrated this in so many of his paintings.

Here is one of them,  it shows Our first steps in this divine art:

Edgar Degas, The Dance Class

Edgar Degas, The Dance Class

Don’t believe those humans who say that you cannot dance if you are fat.

Your grace doesn’t depend on your weight! This young ballet student just received proof of that.

Just compare Our true version of the masterpiece to a commonly known one, from the Metropolitan Museum collection:

Degas-The-Dance-class-Metropolitan-w

Edgar Degas, The Dance Class, from the Metropolitan Museum

Do you see this empty space? What kind of  lesson do you think would receive this young lady without the Fat Cat nearby?

We are pretty sure that in a moment an old teacher will turn his head to her, saying someting like that: “Hey, suck in your stomach! Too big bust, short legs, you have the wrong body for ballet!”

Don’t cry Our dear, just have a look at Us! We are fat, but jump and dance like a cool cat!

Thus speaks Zarathustra the Cat
P.S. This true version of Edgar Dega’s masterpiece was for the first time revieled in Our book:

Fat Cat Art: Famous Masterpieces Improved by a Ginger Cat with Attitude

There are more other important discoveries to be found there!

Do you and your cat and art loving friends have it already?
