More about this artwork

"Two Blue Horses" by Franz Marc, painted in 1913, is an exquisite representation of the artist's fascination with animals, particularly horses, as conveyors of profound emotions. In this artwork, Marc employs bold colors and expressive forms to encapsulate the majesty and spiritual aura of these creatures. The painting depicts two horses, predominantly in hues of deep blue, intertwined in a complex, almost mystical composition. The horses appear to emerge from or merge into each other, their forms simplified yet powerfully conveyed through Marc's signature use of color and line.The background, painted in abstract greens and earth tones, suggests a vague, dreamlike landscape that resonates with the themes of nature and its inherent connection with the animals. This piece is a brilliant example of Marc's contribution to Expressionism, where he sought not only to capture the physicality of the animals he portrayed but, more importantly, their soul and spirit.

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).
