Over de schouder kijkende zwarte kat 1894 - 1933

"Over de schouder kijkende zwarte kat" (Black Cat Looking Over Its Shoulder), created between 1894 and 1933 by Philipp Bauknecht, is a striking woodcut print featuring a stylized black cat. The image is dominated by bold, black lines that create a sense of depth and movement, contrasting with the stark white background. Bauknecht's simplification of the cat's form, combined with the textured background lines, suggests a focus on the animal's essence and movement rather than realistic detail, characteristic of early 20th-century artistic styles. The artist's signature in the lower right corner adds a personal touch to this expressive work.
