More about this artwork

Franz Marc's painting "Fabeltier" (1912) is a striking example of his unique approach to art, demonstrating his affinity for vibrant colors and abstracted animal forms. This piece, which translates to "Mythical Creature" in English, showcases a fantastical beast derived from Marc's imagination, portrayed with vivid colors and expressive lines that convey a sense of dynamic movement and emotional intensity.The animal in "Fabeltier" combines aspects of various creatures, which might be interpreted as parts from a deer and mythical elements, all rendered in a bold, non-naturalistic palette. The use of red, green, yellow, and black contours helps to delineate the form of the animal, separating it from the muted pink and beige background.This painting epitomizes Marc's interest in expressing deeper spiritual truths through the purity and innocence he perceived in animals. It reflects his key role in the German Expressionist movement and his inclination towards an art that delves beyond the visual appearances into the realm of emotion and metaphor.

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).
