More about this artwork

Titled "Four Foxes," this captivating painting by German artist Franz Marc, created in 1913, exemplifies his profound connection to nature and his inclination towards Expressionism. The painting portrays four foxes, intricately blended into a vibrant, abstract landscape. The use of bold, contrasting colors and dynamic forms capture the essence and spirit of the foxes rather than their realistic portrayals.Marc’s choice of colors is particularly significant; the reddish tones possibly symbolize the vitality and the earthy essence of the foxes, while the greens and blues in the background could represent their natural woodland habitat. The abstract forms and the somewhat fragmented composition invite viewers to explore the relationships between the natural world and its inhabitants through Marc's eyes. His approach enhances the mysterious and elusive character of the foxes, almost allowing them to merge with the elements of the forest around them.

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).
