Ratjetoe

click to enlarge! klik om te vergroten! Next to Diana's treats is a linograph by Coc van Duijn, a Dutch artist who makes stunning work. By means of puns she connects the humanworld with the world of animals. Unfortunately I don't know how to translate "Ratjetoe" in English, it means mismash but ratje means little rat and toe means dessert, so literally it is a rat for dessert (look in the cups). My dear friend Erna gave me this wonderful piece a few years ago, because she knew I was a great admirer of her work. One of the best birthday presents ever! I love it, it is so cheerful! Naast Diana's toetjes hangt een lino van Coc van Duijn, een Nederlandse kunstenares. Door woordspellingen verbindt Coc de mensenwereld met die van de dieren. De titel van de litho is "Ratjetoe" kijk maar in de dessertcups! Mijn lieve vriendin Erna heeft me deze litho een paar jaar geleden cadeau gegeven, omdat ze wist dat ik het werk van Coccie zeer bewonder. Één van leukste cadeaux, die ik ooit gekregen heb voor mijn verjaardag! Ze maakt zulke vrolijke dingen! Links: Coc van Duijn Mishmash

    This is hysterical. I love the expression on those cats faces. And the detritus (is that the word) of other meals in the foreground. You do have an eclectic art collection.
