Cat Backside Third Eye View from Behind Humorous Cat Statue with Tail Up by Dubout 9.25H

A Cat Who Looks Back: The Dubout Cat Backside Statue

This Dubout cat backside statue is a joke that needs no caption. A black cat turns his head and lifts his tail. It measures 9.25 in H x 3.25 in W x 2.5 in D in hand painted resin.

Albert Dubout drew the original, and Parastone adapted it. The tail reveals what the title calls a third eye.

A Line Drawing Made Solid

Parastone's Mouseion 3D line adapts drawings and paintings into three dimensions. Here a flat gesture in pen and ink becomes a cat you can turn in your hands.

The rough texture of the fur recalls the quick strokes of a nib. The Dubout cat backside statue keeps that sketch energy in resin.

The Joke Behind the Title

The turned head makes the viewer an accomplice, and the stiff, raised tail does the rest. The wide-eyed look of surprise makes this cat third eye statue work.

The Musee Regards de Provence calls Dubout's work ironic, tender, and deeply human. A funny cat tail up statue like this shows all three.

Albert Dubout in Brief

Dubout was born in Marseille in 1905 and studied at the fine arts school in Montpellier. His first drawings appeared in a student journal in 1923. He drew for Paris magazines such as Le Rire and illustrated Rabelais and Balzac. He also designed posters and theatre sets.

He received the Legion of Honour in 1953 and died in 1976. A museum in his name opened in Palavas-les-Flots in 1992. The Dubout cat backside statue shows why his cats are still loved.
