More about this artwork

Explore the dynamic energy and bold contrast in Christian Rohlfs' intriguing woodcut, "Cat and Mouse" (1912-1913), a captivating piece of Expressionist art showcased on our website. This striking artwork employs a stark black-and-white palette to depict the timeless interaction between predator and prey. The cat, characterized by sweeping, curved forms, appears in an agile, stretched pose, embodying both motion and menace. The mouse, smaller and depicted with simpler, rounded lines, conveys vulnerability yet swiftness, suggesting a fleeting moment of tension and imminent action.Rohlfs’ use of rough textures and abstract shapes not only enhances the visual impact of the chase but also invites viewers to engage with the scene’s primal energy and the universal theme of survival. A signature in the lower right corner attributes this masterful work to the artist, making "Cat and Mouse" an exceptional example of Rohlfs' contribution to the Expressionist movement, where emotion and expression take precedence over realistic representation.
