A Hungry Cat Ate Up the Goat, Illustrations After El Lissitzky's Had Gadya - lithograph, linocut, and screenprint in colors with hand-coloring and collage, on wove paper, 1984, signed and dated in pencil, numbered PP II, published by Waddington Graphics, London - Sheet: 45 ½ x 53 ½ in. (1158 x 1359 mm.) // A Hungry Cat Ate up the Goat by Frank Stella is a vibrant limited edition print from 1984, part of his series inspired by El Lissitzky's Had Gadya. This mixed media piece combines lithograph, linocut, screen print, hand-coloring, and collage on wove paper, showcasing Stella's dynamic use of color and form. The composition bursts with jagged shapes and layered textures in a swirling pattern of pastel blue, yellow, and pink against bold dark outlines. The work's frenetic energy and fragmented forms evoke a sense of playful chaos, perhaps alluding to the whimsical tale of Had Gadya. Stella’s layering technique enhances the visual depth, inviting viewers to explore each vibrant shape’s role within the complex structure.

What is Systems Art?

Systems Art refers to a group of artists who, during the late 1960s and early 1970s, used the frameworks of conceptualism and minimalism to create art that was responsive to its environment. Rejecting traditional art themes, they embraced aesthetic systems and experimented with diverse media. Systems Art often connected with contemporary political movements of the time, emphasizing the interrelationship between the artwork, its context, and the broader social and political environment.
