Franz Marc

Franz Marc's style screams "Vibrant Visions of Vitality!" - a mnemonic you can use to remember it.

His art, deeply rooted in Expressionism, bursts with the following:

• Bold, Symbolic Color: Animals, especially horses, are depicted in unconventional colors not for realism, but to express their inner essence and emotions. Blue represents spirituality, yellow joy, and red violence.
• Simplified, Geometric Forms: He reduced figures to basic shapes, reflecting a search for underlying truths beyond the surface.
• Animistic Vision: Marc believed animals were purer and more spiritual than humans, making them his primary subjects. He sought to capture their subjective experience of the world.
• Themes of Nature and Spirituality: His art focused on the harmony and interconnectedness of all living things, expressing a deep yearning for spiritual renewal and a rejection of the corrupting influence of modern society.
