More about this artwork

"Red Deer" is a captivating masterpiece by German artist Franz Marc, created in 1913. This painting displays Marc's signature style which blends Cubism and Expressionism, exploring both the beauty and the spiritual essence of nature. In this evocative composition, the viewer is presented with the serene image of a deer lying amidst a labyrinth of colorful, abstract forms. The animal, rendered in soft whites and greys, appears peaceful and harmonious within the surroundings.The background of the artwork consists of sharp, vivid lines and geometric shapes, interspersed with lush green tones and strokes of blues and yellows, representing a stylized forest. The contrast between the soft, curved lines of the deer and the bold, angular elements of the background emphasizes the delicate balance between the creature and its environment. Marc's use of fragmentation in the backdrop, typical of Cubist influence, helps fragment reality, inviting viewers to interpret the natural world's inherent unity and diversity."Red Deer" exemplifies Franz Marc's profound connection with nature and his exploration of the spiritual significance embedded within the animal kingdom. Through this painting, Marc invites viewers to contemplate the deeper, mystical qualities of the natural world, encouraging a sense of peace and reflection.

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).
