Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's painting Zwei mit Katzen spielende Mädchen (translated as Two Girls Playing with Cats) is a work by the German Expressionist artist, created in 1910. Kirchner was a founding member of the influential art movement Die Brücke (The Bridge), which sought to break away from traditional academic art and explore more emotional, raw, and modern forms of expression. This painting exemplifies many of the stylistic and thematic elements associated with Kirchner and the Die Brücke group.

The artwork depicts two young girls interacting with cats in an intimate and domestic setting. The composition reflects Kirchner's interest in capturing moments of everyday life, often with a focus on human relationships and their connection to nature. The figures are rendered in a simplified, almost angular style, characteristic of Kirchner's work during this period. The use of bold, non-naturalistic colors and dynamic brushstrokes conveys a sense of vitality and immediacy, hallmarks of the Expressionist movement.

Kirchner's choice of subject matter—children and animals—suggests an interest in themes of innocence and playfulness. At the same time, the painting's execution reflects the artist's broader concerns with exploring emotional depth and the inner life of his subjects. The cats, often symbols of independence and mystery, add an additional layer of complexity to the scene.

The painting was created during a pivotal time in Kirchner's career. In 1910, he and other members of Die Brücke were actively experimenting with new artistic techniques and ideas, influenced by non-Western art forms, such as African and Oceanic art, as well as the works of Post-Impressionist artists like Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin. These influences are evident in the painting's bold forms and expressive use of color.

Today, Zwei mit Katzen spielende Mädchen is recognized as an important example of Kirchner's early work and his contributions to the Expressionist movement. The painting is held in a private collection and is occasionally exhibited in museums and galleries, allowing the public to appreciate Kirchner's unique artistic vision.
