Franz Marc

Franz Marc was a German Expressionist painter and founding member of Der Blaue Reiter group. Renowned for his vibrant depictions of animals, Marc used bold colors and simplified forms to convey emotional and spiritual qualities. His paintings, such as Blue Horse and The Large Blue Horses, emphasize harmony between nature and humanity. Marc’s work was deeply symbolic and often inspired by his interest in spirituality and mysticism. He died young during World War I, but his innovative style significantly influenced modern art and the development of Expressionism.
