Today we are searching for things in nature that are hidden behind the veil of appearance… We look for and paint this inner, spiritual side of nature. Shortly after beginning his career as an artist, the World erupted in War and Franz Marc was drafted Franz Marc the German Army. Franz Marc Marc was on that list, before the orders to remove him from active duty could reach him, he was struck and killed by a shell during the Battle of Verdun in Tragedy continued to strike the young artist, even after he died. Some of these artworks remained hidden for decades, others were never recovered. Franz Marc had a fascination with painting animals, and that showed in his mature artwork.

The surrounding Franz Marc is similarly electrified, as if the tiger is on the verge of breaking out of whatever is restraining it.

Some art historians believe that these horses represent the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from the book of Revelation. Others assert that the stacking Franz Marc the horses was simply to allow Marc to repeat lines and shapes, which was a hallmark of his style. Before his death World War I, Marc wrote to his second wife about the painting. It is like a premonition of this war—horrible and shattering. I can hardly conceive that I painted it. The Tower of Blue Horses vanished without a Franz Marc after the Second World War, and the original Franz Marc never been seen since.

  • Franz Marc Became World Famous for His Expressionist Animal Paintings; No Other Body of Work Has Been So Frequently Reproduced As That of This Munich Artist
    The 100th Anniversary of Franz Marc’s Death “Unnoticed trails of life” Blue horses, yellow cows, red deer – Franz Marc became world famous for his Expressionist animal paintings; no other body of work has been so frequently reproduced as that of this Munich artist. One hundred years after his death, biographies and exhibitions afford significant and sometimes previously unknown insights into Marc’s life and work. Feed 1: “How many times have I longed to roam over these heights, plangently playing on the dark violin of nature; oh, why has fate shut me out from this art? But I would die from this longing, most assuredly, just as from the yearning of love had it never been fulfilled; or from painting – did I not myself paint.” Speaker: Franz Marc in 1906. The twenty-six-year old artist is at home, at the foot of the Bavarian Alps, to paint animals. He is still searching for his own style. Again and again Marc is plagued by his broken off art studies, the few number of his works, financial difficulties. He is searching for a religious affiliation, initially to Christianity and later to Buddhism. His inner conflict, the tendency to melancholy, fear and apprehension – all this is reflected in his life and work. Feed 2: “And because of this distress Marc sought contact with people. We can see this in his early relationships with women, but with men and colleagues he was also extraordinarily companionable, very “team-oriented”,” Speaker: as the journalist and Marc expert Brigitte Roßbeck writes. In 1911 Marc meets Vassily Kandinsky.

KG Iris Brandt [email protected] Aleksandra Erakovic: [email protected] Sample translation Bernhard Jaumann „The Tower of Blue Horses“ Berchtesgaden Region 5 May 1945 Ludwig Raithmaier wouldn’t have minded being someone else rather than who he actually was - but he wasn’t sure whether he would have been any good as a werewolf. ‘What exactly are werewolves?’ he asked. Xaver had only told him what he had heard on the radio: that the werewolves would help them to achieve the great Final Victory; that between them they and the Führer’s wonder weapons would turn the tables on their enemies. The Führer may have died a hero’s death on the battlefield, but the German Volk would never perish: they would barricade themselves into their impregnable Alpine fortress and resist each and every onslaught until the Americans and Russians had completely wiped each other out. Xaver stared at the gaping black hole of the railway tunnel some one hundred metres ahead of them, and said, ‘Werewolves are men who turn into ravening wolves in the depths of the night.’ It wasn’t night yet, and even though the sun had already disappeared behind the mountains the light was fading only slowly. Ludwig gazed up at the mountain peaks, where jagged clouds were racing eastwards as if heading for somewhere in particular.
