Now why would Beyer do that?  After all, everything an artist does is a choice.  It could be nothing.  After all, isn’t that just exactly what a cat would do, the exact opposite of what you want her to do?  But then again, we know that Beyer has a affinity for playfullness.  As well, to many artists, television represents all that art is not.  It is a pandering to the masses.  It could very well be possible that the cat represents Beyer’s true feelings for his subject matter.  And if that’s the case, like Vonkov’s “Lenin,” he got away with it.
