Zoo is a notable work by the German painter and photographer Otto Wols, also known simply as Wols. Born Alfred Otto Wolfgang Schulze in 1913, Wols is often associated with the Tachisme movement, a European counterpart to American Abstract Expressionism. His work is characterized by its abstract forms, intricate details, and a sense of spontaneity and emotional intensity.

Created during a period of significant personal and political turmoil, Zoo reflects Wols' complex relationship with the world around him. The piece is an evocative exploration of the human condition, rendered through a series of abstract and often chaotic forms that evoke a sense of both confinement and wildness, much like the dual nature of a zoo itself. The title "Zoo" suggests a place where the natural world is both celebrated and constrained, a theme that resonates deeply with Wols' own experiences of displacement and existential angst during and after World War II.

Wols' technique in Zoo involves a meticulous layering of paint, ink, and other media, creating a textured and dynamic surface that draws the viewer into its depths. The use of color is both restrained and expressive, with muted tones punctuated by sudden bursts of vibrant hues, mirroring the unpredictable and often tumultuous nature of life. The composition is both fragmented and cohesive, with each element contributing to an overall sense of movement and tension.

Zoo is not just a visual experience but an emotional and intellectual one as well. It invites viewers to contemplate the boundaries between freedom and captivity, order and chaos, and the known and the unknown. Through its abstract language, the work communicates a profound sense of the artist's inner world, making it a significant piece in Wols' oeuvre and a compelling example of mid-20th-century European art.
