Little yellow horses

ID: #730 | Modern artists | Animals

The painting shows a group of horses in motion. The colours are bold and the style of the painting is expressionistic with dynamic curves and strong contours. The horse in the foreground appears to be in a prancing position, while the other horses behind him show varying positions and degrees of movement. The background is simple with a blue sky and simple clouds. Overall the work has an energetic feel, and perhaps conveys freedom or wildness.

Franz Marc (1880-1916). German Expressionist painter, whose full name is Franz Moritz Wilhelm Marc. He was one of the founders of the art group Der Blaue Reiter. He had a long-term friendship with August Macke. By far, he most frequently painted animals (horses, deer and cats). He even bought and raised deer. He did not paint animals for zoological catalogues but sought to capture their spiritual essence. He used simple and often unnatural colours to convey emotion and the harmony of nature. He died in 1916 at the Battle of Verdun.
