German artist (1880–1916)
People connected to Franz Marc
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.
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…
