More about this artwork

Welcome to our virtual gallery! Today, we are delighted to present "Tiger in the Jungle" (1912) by the esteemed German Expressionist Franz Marc. This remarkable painting captures the essence of movement and primal energy through Marc's vivid color palette and dynamic brushwork.At the center of the composition, the tiger leaps across the canvas, its body artistically fragmented and abstracted into bold swaths of color. Marc's use of reds and oranges vividly outlines the ferocity and power of the tiger, contrasting sharply with the cool blues and greens that depict the lush, mysterious jungle environment. This stark juxtaposition of warm and cool tones not only highlights the inherent wildness of the tiger but also creates a visual sensation of depth and chaos in the jungle.Marc’s technique of breaking the visual field into slanted, geometric segments enhances the sense of a fragmented vision—one that captures the fleeting, darting movements of the tiger through the jungle. The abstraction invites viewers to experience the jungle not as a static scene but as a living, breathing ecosystem, pulsating with life and danger."Tiger in the Jungle" is a stunning example of how Franz Marc’s work communicates deeper themes of nature’s untamed beauty and the animalistic instincts residing within it.

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).
