Cats in Art: Eiaha Ohipa
Continuing my Sunday tradition of Cats in Art.

This painting by Paul Gauguin is sometimes referred to as A Tahitian Interior, but the artist named it Eiaha Ohipa which means "doing nothing" in the language of Tahiti. And is there anyone who can do nothing better than a cat?
[1896, Paul Gauguin, Eiaha Ohipa, painting]
I love Gauguin's notion of "doing nothing" and including a cat. Well done!
