Looking at Art - MoMA

Free Admission!
"I knew it was an animal!"
Not exactly sure who the artist is...

MY REACTION
 A. This artwork was somewhere around the MoMA... I forget the floor (lol). It was also clumped together with artworks with a similar style.

Like this!
The top right one is the Angry Cat artwork... and below that artwork is one of a goat. I don't remember the one on the far left...

B. This piece drew my attention because from a far distance, I saw an animal. Even though the piece was black and white, the contrast of the colors make the animal stand out. I didn't know what animal it was, but I clearly saw four legs, a head, and a tail. Actually, I lied... My first thought: Woah... Is that a demon? 

C. After reading the label of the piece, I learned that the animal portrayed is a cat... In fact, an angry one. I learned that the artwork is a lithograph, which means that it is a legal copy of the original. It was printed in the Mourlot Studios, located in Paris, France. Lastly, it was from 1953... by I do not know who... Since the label only says "the artist", the artist is not clear... Thanks label :/ .

*After matching the artwork on MoMA's website... I believe the artist's name is Jean Dubuffet, who is a French painter, sculptor, and writer.

I feel like this could be in a horror scene...
