FRANZ MARC

if you like Paul Klee you would love contemporary Franz Marc along with Kandinsky and Klee and August Macke they formed 'Der Blau Reiter' Marc regularly sent hand painted postcards to friends and family and members of the artistic circle . Aligned to 'Die Brucke' and lasting only a few years both were often compared to the Fauves (or Wild Beasts!) but are loosely collected under the term German Expressionism










Franz Marc, Postcards:
- Two Foxes, To Albert Bloch in Munich, 4 February 1913
- Two Sheep, To Wassily Kaninsky in Murnau, 1 May 1913
- Two Lying Black Cats, To Erich Heckel without Date
- The Tower Of Blue Horses, To Else Lasker-Schüler, December 2012
- Black Cow Behind A Tree, To Elisabeth Marc, 21 May 1913
- Three Horses in Landscape with Houses, To Paul Klee, 8 November 1913
- Two Cats, To Lily Klee in Munich, 6 March 1913
- Four Foxes, To Wassily Kandinsky in Munich, 4 February 1913


Macke too is worth exploring
August Macke (German, 1887-1914), Rocky Landscape, 1914
