Franz MARC
Franz MARC, Self-portrait.
Franz Moritz Wilhelm MARC was a German painter and printmaker, one of the key figures of the German Expressionist movement. He was born in 1880, in Munich, Germany, and died in 1916, during World War I.
Marc was part of a group of artists known as Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), which sought to break away from traditional forms of art and embrace the spiritual and emotional aspects of color and form. He was inspired by the work of the Fauves and developed a style that was heavily influenced by bright, contrasting colors and abstract forms.
Marc's works are characterized by a unique blend of cubism, fauvism, and primitive art, often featuring animals and nature. He sought to convey a spiritual message in his work and believed that art should act as a means of transmitting universal truths.
His most famous works include "Tiger" (1912), "The Tower of Blue Horses" (1913), and "Red Deer" (1914). Despite his relatively short career, Marc's influence on modern art continues to be felt, and his works can be found in numerous museums and private collections around the world.
