Katze (Cat) [p. 17] 

"Katze (Cat)" is a pencil drawing on paper by German Expressionist artist Max Beckmann. Though the date of the drawing is unknown, it is likely from Beckmann's later period, known for its simplified forms and expressive lines. This quick sketch shows a cat's head, its fur rendered with a series of parallel lines creating a sense of movement and texture. The large, expressive eyes add to the feline's captivating gaze. This study exemplifies Beckmann's interest in capturing the essence of his subjects with bold strokes and minimal detail.
