An oil and ink on canvas, Cat and Bird, painted in 1928, is an animal painting in the Expressionism style. The cat appears to be "all head," and the bird, on cat's forehead, is symbolic of what the cat is thinking. Flying in the cat's mind, the bird is a "secret" made visible to others. The cat's red nose is tipped with a heart, symbolizing his "heart's desire."
His abstract art was infused with references to poetry, music, literature, and humor, and reflected his imagination in those areas. Science and metaphysics played a huge role, and his coded symbolism was literature in art form. In his later life, upon returning to Bern, personal hardships and the political climate led to a more somber tone in his art.
