Boop! It’s a New Hope
There are days when everything is falling apart, the mousy paws of despair scratch at your heart, and it seems that the world will never return to normality, and breakfast will never come. Gustav Klimt knew the secret way to put together a disintegrating existence instantly – you just need to boop your kitty’s nose!
The genius painter had a vision of this instant fix and invited Us, Zarathustra the Cat, to be his Mews and Meowdel when he created the true version of the masterpiece nowadays known as Hope II
Friends who visited the MoMA in New York may ask: “We saw Hope II there, but no trace of cats in it! What had happened with the true version?”
Actually, in the museum, you may see the first version, which is rather sad despite its title – Hope.
The painting shows a pregnant woman with the skull rising over her abdomen, predicting the death of her child, and three sad women in the lower part of the painting mourning over the doomed life
The painting was so sad, and Gustav Klimt decided to struggle with his depression and create an artwork celebrating the joy of life, and of course he needed a cat for this noble task!
We sat for this painting in the huge pocket of the fancy dress of Herma, one of Klimt’s favorite models. We should say that the girl was quite entertained by Klimt’s genius idea of repairing a crumbling world and she booped Our noble nose so many times, that We look slightly pissed off in this artwork.
Of course, touching a wet soft cat’s nose is much more uplifting than gazing at a scary skull, Poor girt even closed her eyes not to see it in the commonly known version of the painting!
Just compare both versions:
The master also depicted Our vain efforts to avoid a flood of human kisses and squeezes in the lower part of the painting:
Women are smiling and trying to kiss and boop kitties’ seductive noses anyway!
It’s more productive than just mourning like they are doing in the commonly known version:
And, finally, the great artist depicted Us asking for Our shrimpy fee for sitting for the masterpiece, We were so hungry that Klimt painted Our multiple images on the background of the painting to show the intensity of Our wish:
Now you know what do golden sparkles on Gustav Klimt’s paintings mean, they are hungry cats’ eyes, glowing in the dark!!
Now go to your cat, boop their nose, and give them a shrimpie!
Thus speaks Zarathustra the Cat
