About this work

This image features a vibrant linoleum cut, showcasing a cat with yellow and black stripes, its tail curled up and over its back. The feline is depicted in a dynamic pose, as if it is about to pounce on a bird. The bird, rendered in brown hues, appears to be in mid-flight, adding a sense of movement to the composition. A notable detail in the image is the artist's use of bold, expressive lines to define the forms of the cat and bird. The linoleum cut technique allows for a sense of texture and depth, adding visual interest to the piece. The Museum of Modern Art is home to this artwork, which showcases the artist's unique style and technique.
