(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.

What is late modernism?
Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
