Marc, Franz
Franz
Marc was born on February 8, 1880, in Munich, Germany. He studied at the Munich
Art Academy and traveled to Paris several times where he saw the work of
Gauguin, Van Gogh, and the Impressionists. With Kandinsky, he founded the
almanac "Der Blaue Reiter" in 1911 and organized exhibitions with
this name. He was a principal member of the First German Salon d'Automne in
1913. At the beginning of World War I, he volunteered for military service and
he died near Verdun, France, on March 4, 1916.
Franz
Marc was a pioneer in the birth of abstract art at the beginning of the
twentieth-century The Blaue Reiter group put forth a new program for art based
on exuberant color and on profoundly felt emotional and spiritual states. It
was Marc's particular contribution to introduce paradisiacal imagery that had
as its dramatis personae a collection of animals, most notably a group of
heroic horses.
Tragically,
Marc was killed in World War I at the age of thirty-six, but not before he had
created some of the most exciting and touching paintings of the Expressionist
movement.
