The leap of the rabbit

"The Leap of the Rabbit" is a striking animal painting that exemplifies early Expressionism through vivid, dynamic brushwork. Created in oil on canvas, this artwork captures a moment of energetic movement and emotional intensity. As part of Arthur Jerome Eddy’s pioneering collection, the piece reflects his dedication to promoting modern art movements, including German Expressionism and the innovative work of Wassily Kandinsky. Its bold depiction of the rabbit embodies the spirit of experimentation and abstraction characteristic of Eddy’s influential support for Cubism and post-Impressionism.
