Dieter Roth (German, 1930-1998) is difficult to categorize; he worked in a variety of formats, including books, prints, sculpture, multiples, and multi-media installations. His approach to each was characterized by his use of unorthodox materials. The rabbit, as seen here, is a recurring theme in Roth's art.The title can be translated as "cracked" or "torn" rabbit, both a reference to the thickly inked surface of the print, which is crackled, and the status of the depicted hare.
