Franz Marc

<p>Franz Marc (1880-1916) was a key figure in the German Expressionist movement of the early 20th century. Marc was a founding member of the expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter along with other great artists of the time: Wassily Kandinsky August Macke and Alexej von Jawlensky. A brilliant use of colour along with stark futurist and cubist styles create the distinct qualities that make Marc a master of modern art. Symbolising masculinity femininity and violence among his calm and bucolic animal subjects Marc's unique and creative use of colour and meaning will forever have a firm place in art history.</p>
