oil on canvas
45.5 x 55.5 cm
This picture is also autobiographical, though it carries its own meaning and can be freely and personally interpreted as with many of the cook paintings. There are a variety of symbols at work and there is a suggestion of hierarchy, transmitted by the scale differences between the different cooks. The black cat known by the painter as ‘Countessa Bosco’ has been the painter’s faithful companion throughout several years of conflict and tribulation. In the end one can have few real friends and the presence of a small black cat in the studio can be of great solice.
One finds this cat in many of the artist’s paintings sharing in the concoctions the artist produces. Perhaps in this painting the artist has finally been awarded a first birthday of his own, freed from celebrating everyone else’s birthday but never his own, or perhaps this is a painting symbolising rebirth in which the fire of life is safely guarded.
