More about this artwork

"Deer in the Forest II" (1912) by Franz Marc is a vibrant exploration of color and form, depicting the tranquil scene of a deer nestled amid an abstract forest setting. In this painting, Marc masterfully uses dynamic and bold color contrasts to depict the subtle interplay between nature and its inhabitants. The deer, a recurring symbol in Marc's works, represents purity and innocence and is portrayed with a graceful serenity that contrasts with the angular, almost cubist representation of the surrounding forest. The use of stark blues and deep reds alongside the earthen tones illustrates the spiritual energy and inner connection that Marc perceived in nature. This painting invites viewers to reflect on the beauty and mystery of the natural world, emphasizing a deep-seated harmony that transcends the visual norm.

Franz Moritz Wilhelm Marc (8 February 1880 – 4 March 1916) was a German painter and printmaker, one of the key figures of German Expressionism. He was a founding member of Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), a journal whose name later became synonymous with the circle of artists collaborating in it.

His mature works mostly are animals, and are known for bright colors. He was drafted to serve in the German Army at the beginning of World War I, and died two years later at the Battle of Verdun.

In the 1930s, the Nazis named him a degenerate artist as part of their suppression of modern art. However, most of his work survived World War II, securing his legacy. His work is now exhibited in many eminent galleries and museums. When up for auction, his major paintings attract large sums, with a record of £42,654,500 for Die Füchse (The Foxes).
