For my third art analysis I decided to use this odd, but very wide spread, picture of the Dark and Light Long-Cat. This is a particularly interesting photo because although the purpose of the photo is to be humorous, there is actually a lot more going on than immediately is apparent.
For starters, this photo is, most obviously, a fight between good and evil. If you notice in the background, the city/suburbs are actually engulfed in flames with smoke bellowing into the sky. This destruction could be a result of the presence of the Dark, Long-Cat, which seems to be smothering out everything it touches and engulfing the landscape in darkness. However, on the opposite side of this dark scene is the presence of the Light, Long-Cat and its calming aura of light. Its presence could represent many things: hope, salvation, peace, the Second Coming, etc. Either way, it is clear that a battle is about to ensue. With paws out stretched, they both prepare for the conflict to come.
But then again, perhaps I am over thinking this and it is simply two very long cats of differing complexion that happen to be standing right next to a scene of chaos…
C'mon, this picture ("art"? Really?) has got to be connected to the LOLcat mythology of Basement Cat and Ceiling Cat.
ReplyDeleteAnd we all know, based on the example of Galadriel (and her temptation by the Ring of Power), that even the forces of light can become tyrannical and horrifying.
So, perhaps U R just sekritly manichean in your outlook.
