Escaping Criticism

We, Zarathustra the Cat, have already told you, how dangerous art critics can be, and how they can damage free art development with their snobbish thinking. It was the subject of the painting “Escaping Criticism” by a famous Catalan artist Pere Borrell Del Caso:

Pere Borrell Del Caso, Escaping Criticism with the Cat, 1874

If you have a look at the commonly known version of this masterpiece in the “trompe-l’oeil” (optical illusion) genre, that you can find at the Collection of the Bank of Spain
you will see that the master himself didn’t manage to escape from art critics who thought that the painting with the cat is not serious and made Pere paint the noble being off:

Exorcize you, art critic! You are banned!

Or, maybe it is very simple, a boy and a cat are planning an adventure in the art critic’s fridge:
