The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?His animals glow in colors the natural world never gave them - electric blues, impossible yellows - because Franz Marc painted what he believed animals felt, not what humans saw. That belief made him a pillar of German Expressionism and later, posthumously, a target of the Nazis.

, There is something impressive and mystical about the artillery battles.. .I still do not think differently about the war..
We refer with pleasure and with steadfastness to the case of El Greco, because the glory of this painter is closely tied to the evolution of our new perceptions on art.
The editors of the Blaue Reiter will now be the starting point for new exhibitions.. .We will try to become the center of the new movement.

Franz Moritz Wilhelm Marc was born 8 February 1880, a German painter and printmaker who became a founding member of Der Blaue Reiter, a journal that grew into a circle of collaborating artists. His mature work turned almost entirely to animals rendered in bright, unnatural colors - an attempt to see through their eyes rather than impose human perspective. The German Army drafted him when World War I began; he died at the Battle of Verdun on 4 March 1916, two years into the war. In the 1930s the Nazis declared him a degenerate artist and suppressed his work, but most of it survived World War II. His paintings now hang in eminent galleries worldwide, and in 2022 Die Füchse sold for £42,654,500.
